Reviews
Installed this at the main lab entrance and it’s been brilliant. Clear design, easy to read and hasn’t faded even with direct daylight. Definitely helped reinforce the rule about lab coats — especially with students and new starters.
Does exactly what it should. Bold colours and a strong message make it useful in a busy lab environment. I’d recommend it if you need a no-nonsense lab coat reminder.
Great little safety sign. Crisp print quality and easy to spot even from a short distance. Has helped reduce the number of people walking in without PPE, which was exactly what we needed.
Very clear mandatory sign and good quality for the price. Easy to fix up where it’s most visible. Only giving 4★ because I’d have liked a version with extra stick-on fixings included!
Fairly standard PPE sign. I did have to buy separate fixings, which was an extra step, but once in place it’s clear and gets the message across. Works well enough for indoors.
Top-notch signage. The lab coat symbol and text are immediately obvious and avoid any confusion. We put it up near our sample prep room and it’s already made a difference to compliance.
