Quality Assurance & Think Quality Signs

Quality Assurance signs are visual cues that communicate essential information about a specific area's quality control and assurance processes. These signs indicate that specific procedures are followed to ensure products or services meet specific quality standards. They help maintain consistency and reliability in processes.

"Think Quality" signs remind individuals to prioritise and focus on producing or delivering high-quality work. These signs encourage everyone to consider the quality aspects of their tasks and responsibilities. They help create a culture where quality is valued and emphasised.

Quality Assurance signs are typically placed in areas where specific quality checks, inspections, or processes are carried out, such as manufacturing facilities, laboratories, construction sites, and service industries.

Think Quality signs can be placed in various work settings, such as offices, workshops, factories, and retail spaces, to encourage employees to think about the quality of their work and its impact on the overall outcome.

Australian Standards might provide guidelines for designing and placing safety signs. However, as of the last update in September 2021, specific standards for Quality Assurance or Think Quality signs were only sometimes outlined.

Sign colours and shapes can vary, but for safety and general information signs in Australia, the following colour and shape conventions are often used:
