You’re going to be purchasing a safety sign (or a set of these signs) for use at your business. Since this isn’t a common purchase, you probably have a lot of questions about what you should be buying.

Here are some of the things to ask yourself and the person you’re buying your signs from before making a decision on this purchase:

• What is the purpose of the sign? Answering this question completely will help you determine what type of sign you need. For example, if the purpose of the sign is to let employees know where to go in case of a fire, you’ll want a sign that fits in a highly visible place in the break room.
• When does the sign need to be seen? This will help you figure out the size of the sign, whether any lighting is required for it and even if you need a single sign or multiple signs.
• Are power cords necessary? If you’re putting the sign in a place where you can’t have cords but it needs to be lit up, you may want to buy a solar sign. Solar safety signs use batteries and solar power to eliminate the need for power cords.
• All the basics. Make sure you don’t get so confused by this purchase that you neglect to ask the basic questions about cost, delivery, installation and repair options.

Whenever you make a new purchase for your business, you’ll want to make sure that you know the right questions to ask in order to select the item that is best for the job.
