The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) has published and continuously updates ANSI Z535, the only tested standard for safety compliant signs, labels, tags, and tape in the work environment.

ANSI Z535 specifies colors, safety symbols, viewing distance, and message content specific to power and communication installations. 

ANSI Z535 Sections:

ANSI Z535.1 American National Standard for Safety Colors
ANSI Z535.2 American National Standard for Environmental and Facility Safety Signs
ANSI Z535.3 American National Standard for Criteria for Safety Symbols
ANSI Z535.4 American National Standard for Product Safety Signs and Labels (same as Z535.2 with the exception of the application environment)
ANSI Z535.5 American National Standard for Safety Tags and Barricade Tapes (temporary hazards)
ANSI Z535.6 American National Standard for Product Safety Information in Product Manuals, Instructions, and Other Collateral Materials.
