Wear Gloves Labels
Wear Gloves Labels are self-adhesive mandatory PPE labels for reminding staff, contractors and visitors to put on hand protection before using equipment, cupboards, cabinets or work areas where hand hazards are present. They support safer routines at the exact point of use.
Where Wear Gloves Labels Should Be Positioned
You should install these labels on glove dispensers, machinery, cupboards, chemical cabinets, workshop doors and task areas where hand protection is required before work starts. Placing them at eye level or on the point of contact helps the instruction get seen before exposure begins.
Choosing a Practical Viewing Distance
Use the smaller 50 x 25 mm labels for close-range prompts on cabinets, drawers and equipment controls, normally within 1–2 metres. Choose 100 x 50 mm labels where people approach from further away, such as workshop entrances or PPE stations, around 2–4 metres.
| Label size | Best viewing use | Typical distance |
|---|---|---|
| H 50 x W 25 mm | Close-contact equipment, cupboards and small PPE points | 1–2 metres |
| H 100 x W 50 mm | Workshop entrances, glove stations and larger access points | 2–4 metres |
What Should Improve After These Labels Are Fitted
Once fitted in the right place, these labels help you turn glove use from a remembered rule into a visible action. Staff and visitors see the instruction before handling substances, tools or equipment where hands may be exposed.
✅ Fewer missed PPE steps at cupboards, cabinets and task points
✅ Clearer glove expectations for staff, contractors and visitors
✅ Stronger hand protection routines before work begins

Wear Gloves Labels questions answered for safer PPE decisions
Are Wear Gloves Labels suitable for machinery? Yes, when applied to a clean, smooth and dry surface where the instruction is needed before the task starts.
Which size should I choose? Use 50 x 25 mm for close-contact points and 100 x 50 mm when the label needs to be seen from a short approach distance.
Do these labels replace larger safety signs? No. They work best as local PPE reminders on equipment, cupboards and work points. Use larger signs for entrances or wider areas.
What does M009 mean on a gloves label? M009 is the ISO 7010 mandatory symbol meaning protective gloves must be worn.
Where should I avoid fitting these labels? Avoid dusty, oily, heavily textured or constantly wet surfaces because adhesion and visibility may be reduced.
