Safe Zone Signs – New Zealand’s Specialists
Create clarity, confidence, and compliance in your workplace with professional Safe Zone Signs from Emmjay Safety Sign Factory — New Zealand’s largest manufacturer of safety and compliance signage.
“Safe Zone” signage plays a vital role wherever people, vehicles, or machinery operate side-by-side. These signs help everyone instantly recognise areas that are designated for safety, such as assembly zones, emergency refuge points, non-hazard zones, or PPE-free areas.
All Emmjay signs are made locally for New Zealand conditions — UV-laminated for 5 years at no extra charge, and available in rigid, panel or high-tack self-adhesive formats.
Why Safe Zone Signage Matters
In any workplace, construction site, school, warehouse, or factory, safety depends on clear communication.
Safe Zone Signs help you:
- Identify designated safety areas: Make “refuge points”, “assembly areas”, or “safe walk zones” visible at a glance.
- Support compliance: Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 (HSWA) and WorkSafe NZ guidelines, employers must ensure that workers and visitors can clearly identify safe access and refuge areas.
- Reduce confusion in emergencies: In evacuation or incident scenarios, clear signage speeds up safe movement and reduces risk.
- Promote safety culture: Visible, consistent safety communication builds awareness and reinforces positive behaviour throughout your site.
WorkSafe NZ recommends that “all designated safe areas, assembly zones, or pedestrian pathways be clearly marked with signs that are visible, legible, and durable for the conditions in which they are used.”

Compliance & Best Practice
To meet NZ workplace standards, Safe Zone Signs must be:
- Visible and legible from at least 10 metres under normal lighting conditions.
- Durable against the environment they’re used in — UV, moisture, chemical, or impact-resistant.
- Placed strategically before or at entry points to the safe zone.
- Understood by everyone on site — bilingual signage (English / Te Reo Māori) is recommended in many workplaces.
