Reviews
Fantastic sign! Very clear and bold design, and it was up in minutes. Helps keep everyone aware of hearing protection areas - ideal for our noisy workshop.
Good quality rigid plastic and sticks well on our clean metal doors. Took off a star only because the edges were a tiny bit rough on arrival
Bright and clear sign that really helps reinforce safety rules. Installed in minutes and staff have definitely noticed it. Would be perfect if there was a larger size option.”
Decent sign, clear and straightforward — does exactly what it’s meant to do. Only reason it’s 3★ is that the sticker backing wasn’t strong enough for our workshop’s textured paint; had to add extra tape to keep it up
