What is the primary role of signage in ICRA?

• A. To decorate construction zones
• B. Warn and guide staff and visitors, indicate PPE requirements, entry points, and restricted access to containment zones
• C. To provide financial data
• D. To identify weather conditions

Answer: (B)

Signage serves as the primary communication tool to keep people safe by clearly conveying hazards and required procedures in areas under infection control risk assessment. It is used to warn and guide staff and visitors, specify what PPE must be worn, indicate designated entry points, and mark restricted access to containment zones. This visual information helps prevent cross-contamination, directs people along safe routes, and enforces containment controls, protecting patients, staff, and visitors from exposure. Signs that merely decorate or convey unrelated information—like financial data or weather conditions—do not support the safety and containment goals of ICRA.
