Hand Protection Required PPE Floor Sign
Hand Protection Required Beyond This Point PPE Floor Sign is a high-grip anti-slip safety marking created to enforce protective glove compliance at warehouse entrances, fabrication areas and industrial access routes. Manufactured from durable composite material and conforming to BS EN ISO 7010 M009, it provides clear underfoot PPE instruction in high-risk environments.
Where & How to Use this floor sign
Install across access points to workshops, maintenance bays, loading areas and production lines where manual handling, sharp edges or chemical contact risks exist.
