More Advantages of Sourcing Machine Signs


Often, the biggest consideration when finding a supplier of machine signs is meeting the health and safety rules that apply to the operation of potentially hazardous equipment. This includes essential signs for operators – and staff working near machinery – to remind them to take care to avoid such issues as crush injuries, excessive heat or fast-moving parts.

In this situation, switch off signs are also part of risk management and accident prevention.

Energy and Efficiency


Another important reason to buy machine signs designed with universally understood symbols and text messages is to support your workplace performance, productivity and energy efficiency.

A clear example is switch off signs to remind staff not to leave equipment on standby or even operational, using unnecessary electricity in your workplace.

There’s another benefit of getting a range of machine signs for your premises. Having machinery running or on standby unnecessarily could impact its efficiency and lifespan. You may be increasing repair, maintenance and replacement costs by not using machine signs reminding employees to shut off equipment correctly.

Security and Protection


For IT equipment, switch off signs could be part of your security protocols, and compliance with legislation such as GDPR. Proper shutdown of computers protects data and makes it harder for sensitive commercial information to fall into the wrong hands.

Customised machine signs could also highlight the need to leave items such as forklifts, warehouse drones and robotic fulfilment equipment in the correct place after use. This minimises the risk of high-value items sustaining damage or being stolen.

Bespoke Machine Signs


Switch off signs can be part of site-specific safety and efficiency instructions. For example, you
could commission high-vis made-to-order machine signs that include instructions about both start-up (such as wearing the correct PPE and checking that machine guards are in place) and shut-down.

Knowing that staff have unmissable machine signs with instructions on how to operate and care for your machinery can provide peace of mind that your policies and procedures are constantly visible.

It is possible to commission tailor-made machine signs online, thanks to our easy-to-use system for creating workplace signage.

Off-Road Vehicle Safety Signs


This is an excellent illustration of when switch off signs are part of your overall safety strategy. There are complex rules on operating off-road vehicles such as forklifts in warehouses. Having traffic management signs to separate pedestrians is common sense, but it can also be valuable to have switch off signs to remind staff to take keys out of ignitions and apply brakes fully, to mandate for those costly moments of operator distraction.

Serious Risks


Some machinery and equipment can be very dangerous, particularly when it is used for cutting, grinding and drilling. There is not only the danger of cutting yourself but also of debris and sparks flying up and hitting you in the face. With the right Safety Signs, as well as the required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), the user will be aware of the potential problems and can take the necessary steps to prevent an accident.

When using cutting equipment, the obvious danger is from fast moving sharp blades. The warning sign ‘Guards Must Be In Position Before Starting’ Sign provides an essential message that gives a clear instruction on what to do before the machinery is switched on. The sign meets all the health and safety regulations and by choosing the self-adhesive fixing option, you can apply it in seconds, exactly where it is needed most.

Few people realise there are dangers when batteries are being charged, however, this is another situation where staff could be injured. Our ‘Danger Batteries Charging’ Sign is highly visible thanks to its multi-coloured design and features the widely-recognised warning triangle complete with the image of a battery. This appears next to an information notice instructing the user to shut the charger down before disconnecting it from the battery.

Simple Instructions


Sometimes it is the simplest of safety procedures that are the ones most easily overlooked, by adding Machine Signs with clear, easily-understood messages you can help to remind your workers to take special precautions and to use or finish using machinery in the appropriate way.

Some equipment dangers arise because the machinery has not been switched off properly and employees are unaware. A reminder to staff to switch off machinery when it is not being used is very useful and helps to ensure the next user of the machine is not put in unnecessary danger. Our ‘Switch Off When Not In Use’ Signs are eye-catching and will help to make sure the correct process is followed. It features simple blue with white lettering and complies with current safety regulations.

The ‘Use Guards’ Sign also features a very direct message. It could be that the machine could throw up small pieces of waste as it is working, or there are dangerous spinning blades. The sign makes it clear that the machinery should not be used without guards. Combined with the symbol, this makes it very easy to understand, even for those who perhaps do not speak the same language.

If your team is working in an area that may contain dangerous materials, a reminder such as our ‘Danger Hazardous Substances/See Data Sheets’ Signs reinforces the correct process with a clear and instantly understandable message. The warning triangle highlights the danger and the information panel directs the worker to consult the information sheets before proceeding with any work.
