Reviews
Looks professional and well printed — staff now remember to put ear defenders on as they approach the press. Adhesive was good on our smooth steel.
Perfect for our industrial workshop. Clear typography and symbol, good weather resistance, and it’s definitely helped with compliance during noise checks.
Very clear and helped improve PPE compliance around our noisy cutting tools. Would be perfect if there were reflective options for dim workshops.
Bright blue and easy to spot, makes the zone rules obvious for anyone using loud machines. Lost a star as I needed a larger size for a distant part of the shop
