Propuesta de diseño de señaléticas de seguridad para la piladora de arroz Bella Luz # 1

Abstract

This project aims to develop a safety signage proposal for the rice mill “Bella Luz #1”, in order to strengthen occupational risk prevention through graphic design. The study begins with the identification of critical areas within the facility where the lack of signage increases the risk of accidents, highlighting the need for a visual intervention adapted to the rural context and operational conditions. The project was developed using a qualitative approach, including direct observation and interviews with key stakeholders. Based on the findings, a signage system was designed following principles of visual communication, color theory, and ISO standards, and later prototyped using sintra as the base material. A complementary manual was also produced to explain the composition, purpose, and recommended placement of the signage system. The results showed that the signs attracted workers’ attention and encouraged greater caution during work activities. The project demonstrates the potential of graphic design as a tool for improving workplace safety in rural agro-industrial environments.
