Water safety signage
Water safety signage has an important role to play in the implementation of preventative safety measures. Signs inform the public of dangers, safety concerns or other information that may be relevant to them. This standard provides a consistent basis for the development and use of water safety signage within New Zealand that aims to reduce the risk of drownings and injuries. This standard comes with a low resolution image CD.
