Q. Are products typically in stock? 

Yes, we understand and have built our business around the fact that sometimes you need products in a hurry which is why we try to keep stock of everything we sell. Some larger items (storage cabinets, safety cans) are usually the only products we may have limited stock of.

Q. Do you make custom signs and what is your turn-around time? 

We make all of the signs we sell in house, so this enables us to create all types of custom signs AND be able to make them quickly! Whether it's a vinyl sticker, aluminum sign, a plastic sign, tag or banner - we can do it all! Most custom signs require about 2-3 business days to produce, however, please add more time for large quantity orders or specialty custom.

Q. How are you able to supply products so quickly? 

We manufacture above 85% of what we sell so we have full control of quality and availability, ensuring we can usually ship out all orders the day they are received.

Q. I may have questions about a product after I've purchased it, do you offer product support? 

Of course, we stand behind what we make and sell! If you have questions about a product after you've purchased it, just contact us and our extensively trained and knowledgable staff will be able to assist you. Call our Customer Service Representatives toll free at 1-800-420-9737, between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. ET, Monday - Friday, or e-mail customerservice@safetymedia.com

Q. I require the SDS sheet for a product, do you supply this information? 

Yes, if the product that we sell has a Material Safety Data Sheet, it is available on the details page of that product - see our EX01 Fire Extinguisher as an example.

Q. How often does Safety Media make new product catalogs or how up-to-date is safetymedia.com? 

Safetymedia.com is the most up-to-date way to find what you're looking for, as we make new products and update the website almost daily! Safety Media makes a new Catalogue when there are enough new products and changes to warrant the change.
