Canadian standards, not American catalogue copy
Most of the safety signs sold into Canada are printed to American artwork. Usually that is fine — ANSI Z535 signal words (DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, NOTICE) are what Canadian sites use day to day. But the workplace reference here is CSA Z321, Signs and Symbols for the Workplace, which follows the international ISO 3864 colour system, and for electrical work the wording that matters comes from the Canadian Electrical Code and CSA Z462, not the NEC or NFPA 70E.
We work from the Canadian references. Our guide to safety sign colours in Canada sets out which colour goes with which meaning, and danger vs warning vs caution covers picking the signal word.
Engraved, because printed signs get rejected
Where a code asks for identification that is permanent and legible, a printed sticker is the thing that fails the inspection. The big Canadian suppliers — Brady, Seton, Grainger — sell printed vinyl and labels. We only make engraved phenolic, which is why sign shops and electrical contractors send us the jobs an inspector has already turned down once.
Shipping and turnaround across Canada
Everything is engraved in Burlington, Ontario. Most orders go out the same day. Pickup is available in Burlington, and we ship Canada-wide by Canada Post with live rates at checkout. French wording is no problem — accents engrave the same as anything else.
Bilingual signs, provincial variations and utility-specific wording are all routine. Tell us the province and the authority having jurisdiction and we will match the spec.
FAQ
Safety Signs Canada: common questions
What standard applies to safety signs in Canada?
CSA Z321, Signs and Symbols for the Workplace, is the main Canadian reference, and it aligns with ISO 3864 for colours and symbols. Many Canadian sites also use the ANSI Z535 signal word system (DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, NOTICE). Electrical work follows the Canadian Electrical Code and CSA Z462.
Do you ship safety signs across Canada?
Yes. We engrave in Burlington, Ontario and ship nationwide, with live Canada Post rates at checkout and free standard shipping over $200 before tax. Pickup in Burlington is available.
Can you make bilingual or French safety signs?
Yes. Accented characters engrave exactly like unaccented ones, and we regularly cut French and bilingual plates. Send the wording as you want it to read.
Are engraved signs accepted by Canadian inspectors?
Engraved phenolic satisfies the permanence and legibility that codes ask for, which is why it is specified for things like solar PV disconnect placards. Printed labels are the ones that get questioned. If an inspector has given you a specific wording or colour, send it and we will engrave to it.
