Ohio Signage Features
Our Ohio-specific signs are designed to meet the recommendations of the governor’s Human Trafficking Task Force and state law requirements for visibility and legibility.
- Bilingual Messaging: Includes the required resource statement in both English and Spanish to serve a diverse patient population.
- Mandated Hotline Information: Features the National Human Trafficking Resource Center hotline (1-888-373-7888) and the "BeFree" (233733) text-to-help codes.
- Standard Dimensions: Produced in the 8.5" x 11" format for easy integration into existing facility frames or direct wall mounting.
Recommended Placement for Compliance and Safety
To ensure your facility provides a discreet and effective lifeline for patients, we recommend following the state’s guidance for "conspicuous" placement:
- Patient Restrooms: On the interior of stall doors to allow victims a private moment to read and save hotline information without observation.
- Emergency and Triage Areas: Near registration desks and waiting room exits where the information is clearly visible to the public.
- Clinical Dressing Rooms: Providing a safe space for patients to interface with the resources without outside interference during transitions in care.
- Employee Breakrooms: To support mandatory staff training and the State Medical Board's focus on identifying "red flags" during patient encounters.
