Workplace Signs Reader
Read the signs before your first day.
Japanese workplaces use standardised kanji signs for safety, emergencies, and rules. Workers who can read them are safer, more confident, and less likely to make costly mistakes. 30 signs across 4 categories — learn mode and quiz mode.
Safety is not optional
In Japanese factories, construction sites, and food plants, safety signs are posted everywhere. Missing a 危険 (danger) or 立入禁止 (no entry) sign because you could not read it is a risk to you and your colleagues. Knowing these signs is a basic requirement of working safely.
You will see them on day one
Orientation at a Japanese workplace moves fast — in Japanese. The signs posted around the facility reinforce the rules you are being told about. Being able to read them independently means you can follow instructions even when you missed what was said.
