Sea Safety
Case Study: Protecting Beachgoers
Challenge
Lifeguards on beaches are busy rescuing many people every day
from dangers associated with large bodies of water. Why? Because
many people don’t understand the potential hazards related to beach
environments – everything from sharp coral to seriously strong undertow
that can rip you from the shore. Injuries and deaths occur frequently
enough that communicating safety is paramount for the country’s
beaches, especially the oceans and Great Lakes.

Solution
Clarion designed new safety signs for a large number of these hazards –
signs meant to affect people’s behavior so they can better avoid harm.
Clear and concise language was used in conjunction with eye-catching
ISO-formatted graphical symbols to communicate the most essential
messages. It should be noted that the symbol elements were made
predominate because of the necessity to convey safety information to the
wide variety of international, often non-English-reading, people who visit
beaches.
