You are being shown and informed of each of the following. Ask about anything you are not sure of before you start work.

Common health and safety signs: mandatory blue signs for hairnet, ear protection, safety shoes, gloves, hand washing and hi-vis, yellow warnings for slippery floor, forklift and hot surface, a red no entry sign, green first aid and fire exit signs and a red fire equipment sign
Blue means you must do it, yellow means take care, red means do not, green shows safety and escape.
