Same-Day PPE Signs

PPE signs show exactly what protective equipment is needed to enter an area, from safety boots and hi-vis vests to respirators and face shields. A single clear board at each entry point is often the simplest way to set the rule for staff, contractors and visitors.

Choosing a size

A combined PPE board at a site gate is read by people walking or driving in, so A2 or A1 suits most entrances, with each symbol given equal space. Single PPE signs on workshop doors or machine stations are often A4 or A5. Place the sign before the hazard zone, not inside it, so people can put equipment on before entering.

Standards and compliance

PPE signs in South Africa usually follow the SANS 1186 mandatory sign format: blue circles with white pictograms. The OHS Act and its regulations require employers to assess hazards and provide suitable protective equipment where needed. The customer remains responsible for deciding what PPE is required and signing it correctly; we print to the artwork or specification supplied or agreed.

FAQs

How many PPE symbols can fit on one board?
It depends on size. A larger board can carry several symbols comfortably; cramming too many onto a small sign makes each one hard to read.
Can you add our company name to a PPE board?
Yes. A header with your company name or area name is common and helps identify the zone.
Do you print PPE stickers for hard hats?
We print vinyl stickers that can be used on hard hats, such as name or role labels. Check your hard hat supplier's guidance before applying stickers to helmets.
Can you print signs in multiple languages?
Yes, short supporting text can appear in more than one language under each symbol.
