Use Hand Sanitiser Signs give staff, visitors and customers a clear mandatory hygiene instruction for entrances, washrooms, reception areas and shared workspaces, helping you reduce doubt and encourage cleaner hand behaviour.
Use Hand Sanitiser Signs are mandatory hygiene signs for staff, visitors and customers in workplaces, washrooms, entrances and shared facilities. They help you place a clear sanitising instruction exactly where people make contact, supporting cleaner routines and reducing confusion.
Where This Hand Sanitiser Sign Should Go
You should install this sign beside sanitiser dispensers, entrance doors, reception counters, washroom exits, canteens and shared work areas. Place it where people naturally pause or reach, so the instruction is seen before hands touch doors, desks, handles or communal equipment.
Viewing Distance Guidance
Choose the size by how early you need people to act. The smaller size suits close dispenser points, while the larger size gives clearer guidance across entrances, corridors and busier shared areas.
| Size option | Suggested viewing distance | Best practical use |
|---|---|---|
| H 210 x W 148 mm | 1–3 metres | Close-range dispenser, door or washroom point |
| H 297 x W 210 mm | 3–5 metres | Entrances, receptions and wider approach areas |

Installation Guidance
Errors That Reduce Compliance
❌ Placing the sign where the dispenser hides the wording.
❌ Fitting it below eye level in a busy entrance.
❌ Applying adhesive vinyl to dusty, damp or greasy surfaces.
❌ Choosing the smaller size where people approach from several metres away.
When This Sign Is The Wrong Fit
❌ Do not use it where sanitiser is not provided.
❌ Do not use it to replace hand-washing instructions at sinks.
❌ Do not rely on it as a full hygiene procedure for clinical or food-handling tasks.
❌ Do not fit it where doors, baskets or stock can cover the message.
Best Practice For A Clear Prompt
✅ Fit it beside the dispenser, not behind it.
✅ Keep the message visible from the normal walking route.
✅ Clean and dry the surface before fixing self-adhesive materials.
✅ Use rigid plastic where the sign needs a more permanent wall or door position.
