The International Sign Association (ISA; Alexandria, VA) has been advising sign, graphics and visual communications companies that they could stay open and operational, as long as they have stringent safety and health procedures in the workplace and provide services to essential business customers.

The latest guidelines developed CISA – the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency – includes sign and graphics companies as critical infrastructure. Before opening, a sign company must have the following steps in order:

Confirm that it has a rigorous safety and health program in place to protect employees in the workplace;
It must identify and document its “essential business” customers and “essential business” employees;
Installers and servicers of signs will need to rely on the previous language in CISA for construction or electricians.
