Louisiana Signage Features & Statutory Requirements
Our layouts are optimized for technical accuracy and high legibility. Per Louisiana Revised Statutes, mandated notices must adhere to specific formatting and language standards:
- Mandated Languages: To remain compliant, notices must be printed in English, Spanish, and Louisiana French.
- Required Font Size: Signs must utilize bold typed print with a font size of not less than 14-point.
- Verified Hotline Access: Features the National Human Trafficking Resource Center (1-888-373-7888) and the "BeFree" (233733) text-to-help shortcode.
- Standard 8.5" x 11" Format: Scaled to meet the minimum size requirements defined by the Louisiana Department of Health.
Strategic Placement for Patient Advocacy
Effective placement ensures that your facility provides a discreet and safe opportunity for victims to access help. In Louisiana clinical settings, the law specifically addresses restroom placement:
- Bathroom Stall Interiors: Under La. R.S. 15:541.1(D), specific establishments—including those regulated by the Department of Health—must affix a notice to the inside of the door of each bathroom stall. This provides the absolute privacy required for an individual to discreetly record help information.
- Emergency Department Triage: Conspicuous placement where patients first interface with clinical staff during an intake or emergency visit.
- Public Waiting Zones: Ensuring resource information is visible the moment a visitor or patient enters the medical facility.
- Staff Reporting Stations: Reinforcing internal safety protocols and the annual human trafficking awareness training required for Louisiana mandatory reporters under R.S. 40:2175.7.
