8、 WTO/TBT agreement. This document was published in April 2008. This document supersedes SABS 0140-2:1978 (first revision). A vertical line in the margin shows where the text has been technically modified by amendment Nos 2 and 3. A reference is made in 2.1(a) to “national legislation”. In South Afri

9、ca this means the Occupational Health and Safety Act, 1993 (Act No. 85 of 1993). Amdt 3 A reference is made in 2.1(b) to “national legislation”. In South Africa this means the Mines and Works Act, 1956 (Act No. 27 of 1956). Amdt 3 SANS 10140-2:2008 Edition 2.3 1 Preface There is a need (caused by th

10、e growth of work forces that lack a common language) to standardize a system, that does not require the use of words, of giving information and cautionary warnings. Output of production is to a great extent dependent on the health of personnel. One factor that is essential to the maintenance of heal

11、th and of a steady flow of work is the elimination of danger to personnel. The use of colour identification as a means of speedy recognition and a warning of danger, is obviously a valuable contributing factor in the reduction of industrial accidents. However, in the case of accident prevention, oth

12、er efficient and established safety measures should not be replaced by, but should be used in conjunction with colour identification. This code must, therefore, be regarded as supplementary to any regulations laid down for public safety. One essential factor of any such form of identification is tha

13、t there should be uniformity of the colour schemes used in plants and organizations as this promotes greater safety, lessens the chance of error, and warns against hazards caused by the mishandling of materials. In the past, lack of uniformity has often been responsible for the destruction of proper

14、ty and injury to personnel. It is, however, important to note that the number of colour identifications in the field of vision of workers should be kept to a minimum. This will avoid confusion and fatigue, and provide greater emphasis on the markings that are finally used. The International Organiza

15、tion for Standardization (of which the Republic of South Africa is a member) has published recommendations regarding the use of colour codes, and the range and application of the colours given in this code are based on these recommendations. Education is an essential part of any system for giving in

16、formation. On premises where colour identification is adopted (whether it be for safety, identification, or informatory purposes), it is essential that a program of education be applied. Education programs should be competently administered, and should be of such a nature that no personnel are allow

17、ed to work in any area of a factory or industrial plant until they are fully conversant with all relevant colour codes. Finally, it is felt that, by the adoption of the colour identifications given in this code, and by its acceptance and use on a national scale, work personnel and the country as a w

18、hole will benefit.
