It really depends what you are trying to accomplish.

For general safety signage ("Danger, Keep Out" type and specific warnings for authorized workers) I would look to ANSI Z535.2. There may be others that are applicable, but I use ANSI signage a lot. If you look hard enough, there are a couple "draft" ANSI Z535 documents out there that don't require purchase. I believe ANSI is now making old versions available for web viewing, but can't find the webpage anymore.

Here is a good, free guidance document for ANSI signage:

NFPA 70E for arc flash labeling.
