Facilities Services, in the Division of Infrastructure and Operations, makes arrangements for signage on campus. According to the South African Bureau of Standards, the following system applies to safety signage:

• Informational: WHITE symbol/writing on GREEN (emerald) background. Example: emergency exit; first aid station.

• Fire safety (warning): RED symbol on WHITE background. Example: fire safety equipment.

• Danger (warning): BLACK symbol on YELLOW (golden) background. Example: flammable liquids; corrosive/unstable material; physical hazards which may cause accidents.

• Prohibitory (regulatory): BLACK symbol on WHITE background with RED border or oblique. Example: no smoking; no entry; speed limit.

• Mandatory (regulatory): WHITE symbol on dark BLUE (ultramarine background). Example: personal protective equipment required; waste disposal container.

Photo luminescent (glow in the dark) signs must be used indoors where poor visibility could become a problem for building occupants, e.g. staff or students work at night. If there is a power failure, it should still be possible to identify exits and find fire fighting equipment.
