Face Protection Signs

Face Protection Signs are mandatory safety signs used to inform employees, contractors and visitors that suitable face protection must be worn in designated areas. Commonly referred to as Face Shield Signs, Face Protection Must Be Worn Signs or Protective Visor Signs, these signs help communicate essential PPE requirements where there is a risk of facial injury.

Face protection signs are widely used in manufacturing facilities, engineering workshops, construction sites, laboratories, grinding areas, welding environments and industrial workplaces where flying particles, sparks, chemicals or hazardous substances may be present.

Manufactured in the UK, Rainbow Safety's range of face protection signs is available in durable materials including self-adhesive vinyl, rigid plastic, aluminium and photoluminescent glow in the dark options. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, they provide a clear reminder that approved face protection must be worn before entering hazardous areas.
