Safety ORANGE represents:

• A. Safety guards and pinch points
• B. Waste storage and cleanup areas
• C. Walkways, railings, trip hazards and machine clearance areas
• D. Danger/emergency and fire equipment

Answer: (A)

Safety orange is used to mark safety guards and pinch points on equipment. This color signals areas where moving parts could trap, crush, or injure a person, so protective guards, fences, and barriers are often painted orange to stand out and indicate protection is in place. Other safety color conventions place red for danger or emergency equipment, and yellow for general caution or trip hazards; waste storage and cleanup areas typically follow different color codes. Seeing orange helps workers quickly identify where safeguards exist and where extra care is needed around machinery.
