Do Not Oil Clean Or Use This Machine In Motion Signs tell operators, cleaners and maintenance teams not to oil, clean or use equipment while moving. Use them on machine guards, workshop entrances and production lines where clear prohibition helps prevent entanglement, trapping and unsafe intervention.

Where You Should Position Moving Machinery Prohibition Signs

You should install this sign directly beside machine controls, guarding points, lubrication access points and cleaning stations. Place it where a person makes the decision to reach in, wipe down or adjust equipment, so the warning is seen before unsafe contact happens.

Viewing Distance Guidance for Choosing the Right Size

Choose the size by how close the person is when they make the decision. A5 suits close machine-side reading; A4 gives clearer recognition across wider workshop aisles or production walkways.

Size option	Best viewing use	Typical distance
H 210 x W 148 mm	Close machine control points	Up to 4 metres
H 297 x W 210 mm	Workshop aisles and shared machinery areas	Up to 7 metres
