Reviews
Message is obvious and the sign looks fine, but I did expect slightly better weatherproofing for outdoor use. Perfect indoors though.
Perfect safety sign - clear text, good size, and super easy to install. Our safety inspections have gone smoother since we put these up.
Good mandatory sign for ear protection — bright and easy to spot. Just wish it came with drilled holes as the adhesive struggled in a few spots on brick walls.
Very clear and professional — staff now put ear defenders on without being reminded. Only quibble is I’d love larger size options for bigger doors
Good quality print and shape, fits our PPE policy signage perfectly. Lost a star as the adhesive on mine needed a bit of encouragement with extra tape.
Excellent sign! Bold and clear reminder to wear ear protection. Really helps keep everyone aware of the noise risk areas. Exactly what our factory needed.
Clear sign and the wording is easy to understand, but the rigid plastic feels a bit light for our busy workshop. Works well inside though.
