Not only will this help to ensure the continued safety of your team, but it also helps to make sure the business is compliant with all the relevant health and safety regulations.

Easy to Understand


The most effective Safety Signs have one thing in common; clear and simple messages that leave little doubt as to the best course of action. A good example of this is our ‘Hand Protection Must Be Worn’ Sign or a safety gloves sign. Not only easy the text both simple and highly visible, but it is accompanied by the widely recognised image of a pair of safety gloves. Visitors and workers will then be in no doubt they must wear hand protection in that area.

This simple image is also used on a variety of signs with different messages such as our ‘Wear Gloves’ Signs which offer a direct instruction and are available singly or in great value multi-packs. Other options include signs which use the symbol alongside hand protection instruction related to a specific task. For example, the ‘Wear Disposable Gloves to Handle Waste’ Signs are ideal for workplaces where chemicals are used.

The Gloves Symbol Sign is perfect for if you might prefer just to have a sign that has an image on it, without any words. If you have a workforce with a large number of staff for whom English is not their first language, then the image alone is the best reminder that hand protection should be used. This also removes the need for having signs in different languages.

Create Safe Areas


The positioning of your Hand Protection Signs is crucial if you hope to ensure compliance across your workforce. We offer a range of signs that include special messages and mounting options which allow you to easily set up prominent messages when workers enter areas of potential risk.

Using more dynamic signs at entrances can help to enforce these rules, such as our ‘Stop - Safety Gloves Required Beyond This Point’ Signs. These are particularly useful when used in conjunction with floor signs. Our large anti-slip floor signs are clear enough to catch the eye and are unlikely to be overlooked.

Similarly, our Hand Protection Awareness Projecting Wall Signs stand out far more than regular wall signs and once again help to catch the attention of workers who may not be protecting themselves.

In some areas of the workplace, it may be wise to have hand protection warning signs that can still be seen clearly if there are no lights on. Our Nite-Glo material options give the same message as the other hand protection signage, but the background, image and words will glow in the dark.

Meeting Regulations


Are you up to code? Making sure that you offer clear warning of the risks that may be present on your premises is a legal health and safety requirement. At Seton, all of our signs as well as our other safety products comply with current UK and EU laws, allowing you to find everything you need to meet legislation.

First Step Toward Compliance - Warning of the risks and instructing your team to use safety equipment is a great start to implementing a health and safety policy on your premises. When used together with the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that you need, such as General Purpose Gloves, Disposable Gloves and Chemical Resistant Gloves, you can not only ensure you are complying with the law but also you make your employees and visitors feel more secure that their safety is a top priority.

Reducing Safety Complacency – Hand Protection Signs


A safety gloves sign is something that many employers need to fulfil their duty of care, and remain compliant with legislation. However, it can also be an important way to minimise business interruption and keep productivity high.

Finding a strategic location for a ‘wear gloves’ safety sign reduces the time that your employees spend locating and using this essential PPE. This is especially true when you install a ‘gloves must be worn’ sign next to supplies of the type of safety gloves your organisation demands.

For instance, placing a safety gloves sign next to hazardous equipment or materials is wise, but having hand protection signs in staff changing rooms and on doorways ensures that employees arrive to do tasks with their PPE on or ready to use. This all reinforces your organisation’s safety culture.

It is possible to ensure that each safety gloves sign is a timely and unmissable reminder by choosing clear, easy-to-understand sign designs from our range. Someone cannot give the excuse that they didn’t know about the need for hand PPE when you display universally understood ‘wear gloves’ signs in obvious places.

It is also recommended that regular checks are done to be certain that your hand protection signs have not been obscured or damaged.

Regular reminders to employees about what would happen if they ignore a safety gloves sign can also help prevent complacency and forgetfulness.

Which Safety Glove Sign Should You Choose?


When sourcing this type of informational signage, your operational needs dictate the category of ‘wear gloves’ safety sign you select from our range.

For example, your organisation could demand the use of disposable gloves for handling food, chemicals or waste, in which case your ‘wear gloves’ signs need appropriate graphics and text to reinforce your health and hygiene processes. This means that you may well require a ‘gloves must be worn’ sign for kitchen areas and cleaning supplies cupboards, in any workplace, public building, care home or school, for example.

Also, a safety gloves sign for infection control could be relatively small in size, to fit easily near to laboratory or cleanroom work desks

However, when employees are at risk of injury – from such incidents as crushing, chemical or heat burns, or abrasion – the safety gloves sign you require would potentially be larger and more compelling. This could include floor-level red signs saying, ‘Stop, safety gloves required beyond this point’.

You may also need far more than one ‘gloves must be worn’ sign. Having multiple signs in various locations ensures constant reminders about this vital PPE.

Sourcing a type of safety gloves sign for outdoors can be important for building sites, and for organisations such as scaffolding companies, oil and gas companies, and stage and rigging erectors. Fortunately, when you buy a well-engineered ‘wear gloves’ safety sign from us, you are assured of durability and weather resistance.

Make sure that your ‘wear gloves’ signs can still be seen clearly in areas of poor visibility, such as at loading bays and on worksites that are operational at night.

If you have any queries when buying a ‘wear gloves’ safety sign, don’t hesitate to contact us. This includes discussing favourable terms for bulk orders of hand safety signs.
