Machinery Prohibition Signs

Machinery Signs are safety signs used to warn, instruct and protect people working near machines, equipment and moving parts. They help communicate hazards such as crushing, entanglement, cutting, electrical danger, hot surfaces and automatic start-up risks.

Commonly referred to as Machine Safety Signs, Equipment Warning Signs or Machinery Hazard Signs, they are widely used in factories, warehouses, engineering workshops, manufacturing plants, production lines and maintenance areas.

Manufactured in the UK, Rainbow Safety's machinery signs are available in self-adhesive vinyl, rigid plastic, aluminium and other durable materials. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, they help businesses improve workplace safety and clearly communicate machine-related risks.
