French "Chaussures de sécurité obligatoires" - which translates to "Safety Footwear Mandatory" - sign of various sizes and different materials: Plastic, aluminium or self-adhesive vinyl. English and bilingual signs also available when local regulations allow it. Two-face signs (V-shaped) and signs perpendicular to the wall (L-shaped) are also available; of course, they come only in plastic or aluminium. You can select an optional UV-protecting lamination to preserve the colours longer; for superior visibility, you have an alternative between a retro-reflective pigmentation and a photoluminescent coverage. Sizewise, 6”x 9” and 8”x 12” are the most common sizes sold, but any other format can be cut as long as a special order has been placed. Contact Sylprotec for signs in another language, for custom-made signs or if you want one of the options listed above.
The Act Respecting Occupational Health And Safety, more specifically section 51, requires that any employer takes the necessary measures to protect the health and ensure the safety and physical well-being of his worker. Although not mandatory, displaying safety signs is quite recommended to indicate the position of potential sources of danger. Signs that use the standardized symbols of CSAZ31-96 (R2006) are so well outlined and deliver so swiftly the message you wish to spread that whatever the prohibition, people will understand regardless of their language abilities. Safety footwear protects one’s feet from falling handled objects and other risks. Wearing safety footwear is mandatory for all workers exposed to foot injury risks by punctures, electric shock, built-up electrostatic charge, heavy, burning or edgy objects falling, contact with hazardous substances under a liquid form and of intense temperature, contact with hazardous materials which may be corrosive, while proceeding to dangerous work, etc. Wearing safety shoes as well as letting know safety shoes is not an option is mandatory.
Signs based on the CSAZ31-96 (R2006) standard cover a wide range of circumstances due to their many pictograms, symbols, and captions that allow a plethora of combinations regardless of the areas of activity. Posters based on the CSAZ31-96 (R2006) symbols expresing a general message that states which service is available or regulation is in effect. The "Chaussures de sécurité obligatoires" sign displays a full black circle which indicates an obligation or a requirement.
Choosing a sign depends on several factors which have to be included in the equation: the ideal material for your workplace, the distance at which the sign will be seen which pins down the size of signs, the way the work environment is shaped which determines the format of signs –let’s say in a hallway, one usually finds an L-shaped sign, but in a wide room or at the junction of a T-shaped corridor, one finds a V-shaped sign since it allows an 180 degree perspective.
Plastic signs can either be displayed inside or outside. Please note that if your sign is exposed to UV-light, colours will fade faster. UV-protecting lamination will slow down the process of fading but the colours will ultimately disappear. Aluminium signs suit a better purpose outside; of course, they can be displayed indoor, especially in an environment where an adverse impact is likely. Self-adhesive vinyl signs work just fine outside but are better fitted for indoor places.
Please contact our customer service for any custom-made sizes or for English or bilingual signs. Allow at least four (4) weeks of delays for the reception of special orders. If you can’t find the sign you’re looking for, call us and we’ll customize our products accordingly.
