Members of the Land Safety Forum have worked together to develop a good practice guide for outdoor safety signs.
The guide sets out the elements of effective safety signs, with in-depth examples based on good practice observed in New Zealand and globally. It will be useful for anyone developing and maintaining safety signs in outdoor land-based recreation settings in Aotearoa New Zealand.

As part of this work the subgroup commissioned a literature review to identify factors that increase the effectiveness of safety signage. This was published in September 2023 by Stephen Espiner and Megan Apse of Lincoln University. The good practice guide draws on the findings of this review.
