Signs are important in health and safety and whilst a good behavioural safety strategy is needed to ensure they are read and complied with, having them is also important from a compliance perspective.

Employers need to take all the necessary precautions to ensure their workers are kept as safe as they can be in the workplace. The types of signs needed will depend on the workplace. For example, the signage needed in a warehouse or construction site is much different from any that might be necessary for an office. According to the Health and Safety Executive, employers need to:

A slot name for the component. Slots allow the component to receive props from a parent component. An explicit null value indicates that the local props completely override all props received from a parent.

They are used to convey the danger of a certain situation or sometimes to provide a reminder for when workers need to wear the correct PPE. The different types of health and safety signs all have their different designs and colours which are used to help differentiate them from one another.

A drop zone consists of a target element for the dropped objects. Users may drop objects via mouse, keyboard, or touch. DropZone accepts any content as its children, which may change when the user drops content. A FileTrigger is commonly paired with a DropZone to allow a user to choose files from their device.

A health and safety sign is any sign that is used to convey information about the safety of a given area or item. Some of the most recognisable examples include:

If you need to customize things further, such as accessing internal state or customizing DOM structure, you can drop down to the lower level Hook-based API. See useDrop for more details.

React Aria components can be styled in many ways, including using CSS classes, inline styles, utility classes (e.g. Tailwind), CSS-in-JS (e.g. Styled Components), etc. By default, all components include a builtin className attribute which can be targeted using CSS selectors. These follow the react-aria-ComponentName naming convention.

Emergency escape and first aid signs are used to show information that indicates a safe escape route or the route to first aid facilities. These health and safety signs are required to be green, and usually have a white symbol on a green background.

It is also worth noting that businesses should be mindful of their Covid-19 signage policy, especially with workers heading back into the office.

Prohibition signs are used to signify the prohibition of a certain act or event. These health and safety signs are required to be red. Prohibition signs show workers what they cannot do in a workplace and usually have a black safety symbol within a red crossed circle.

Having a good understanding of the COSHH symbols will also help you to get a good safety sign plan in place within your workplace. The video below illustrates the COSHH symbol signs and what they mean.

A visual label should be provided to DropZone using a Text element with a label slot. If it is not provided, then an aria-label or aria-labelledby prop must be passed to identify the visually hidden button to assistive technology.

It is also worth stating that signs do not need to be included in workplaces where they will not reduce the risk of an incident or if the risk itself is not significant. This gives employers some leeway on the signs that they chose to use. Despite this fact, we recommend following the correct signage procedure and any regulations outlined in the health and safety act to make sure you are compliant, and your workers are safe.

Render props may also be used as children to alter what elements are rendered based on the current state. For example, you could render an extra element when the drop target is in an active state.

The className and style props also accept functions which receive states for styling. This lets you dynamically determine the classes or styles to apply, which is useful when using utility CSS libraries like Tailwind.

In addition, some components support multiple UI states (e.g. focused, placeholder, readonly, etc.). React Aria components expose states using data attributes, which you can target in CSS selectors. For example:

A dropzone displays visual feedback to the user when a drag hovers over the drop target by passing the getDropOperation function. If a drop target only supports data of specific types (e.g. images, videos, text, etc.), then it should implement the getDropOperation prop and return cancel for types that aren't supported. This will prevent visual feedback indicating that the drop target accepts the dragged data when this is not true. Read more about getDropOperation.

These health and safety signs are used to show a specific danger that may be present within a workplace. They can indicate a general hazard/danger and are sometimes known as hazard/caution signs. These health and safety signs need to be yellow/amber and are usually characterised by a black symbol on a yellow background.

A function returning the drop operation to be performed when items matching the given types are dropped on the drop target.

There is no native element to implement a drop zone in HTML. DropZone helps achieve accessible dropzone components that can be styled as needed.

Fire safety signs provide emergency information on the escape route needed in the event of a fire. These health and safety signs can also provide information on areas that may be susceptible to fires. The law that requires that these health and safety signs are red.

Mandatory health and safety signs signal the need for certain behaviours. It conveys information that you must comply with to be safe. These signs must be blue and usually have a white symbol on a blue background. They are often used to notify those of the need to use PPE.

DropZone supports user interactions via mouse, keyboard, and touch. You can handle all of these via the onDrop prop. In addition, the onDropEnter, onDropMove, and onDropExit events are fired as the user interacts with the dropzone.

A custom className can also be specified on any component. This overrides the default className provided by React Aria with your own.
