The advantages of polypropylene signs; they are UV stable and resists fading and cracking for up to 5 years. lasts longer than Corflute and metal (will outlast Corflute up to 7 times). they are flexible, they won't dent or crease and are cheaper than metal. They can't be pulled off fences like flute, yet are easy to handle.

First aid emergency showers and eyewash stations are essential equipment for every working environment that use chemicals and hazardous substances. The safety shower and eyewash stations are used to reduce workplace injury and keep workers safe from various dangers.

Pushbuttons and arrows should be located as close as possible to the crosswalk line furthest from the center of the intersection and no more than 5 feet from the extended crosswalk lines, (MUTCD Section 4E.08, P4 ) The arrow shall be aligned in the direction of pedestrian travel on the crosswalk controlled by the pushbutton (MUTCD Section 4E.12, P1 ).

Blind pedestrians typically proceed in as straight a line as possible from the pushbutton to the curb of the perpendicular street in the direction of the arrow. This means that the APS should be within or as close as possible to the crosswalk lines.

Pedestrians who are blind use tactile arrows to determine and confirm which crosswalk the pushbutton controls and the general direction of travel. Other clues from traffic sounds are also used to confirm alignment and crossing direction.

It is important that the arrow points in the direction of travel on the crosswalk, as it indicates which crosswalk is controlled by that pushbutton. Tactile arrows provide general alignment information for all pedestrians. However, it is important to note that tactile arrows do not seem to enable the extremely accurate alignment required for blind and visually impaired pedestrians. To align the arrow properly, the installer needs to understand that pedestrians are expecting the arrow to be aligned toward the destination across the street. The purpose is not to point toward the beginning of the crosswalk, or the curb ramp location. Misalignment of the arrow may direct a blind pedestrian into the center of the intersection.

A raised (tactile) arrow is required by MUTCD to be on the pushbutton and is used to communicate to pedestrians which crosswalk is controlled by the pushbutton. The tactile arrow provides confirmation that is similar to the printed sign and arrow which are commonly provided for pedestrians who are sighted. The arrow must contrast with its background. The arrow is the part of the APS that vibrates during the WALK interval.

Arrows shall have high visual contrast (light on dark or dark on light) with their background so that all users, including those with low vision, may see them readily (MUTCD 4E.12, P1 ).
