"Port du gilet de sauvetage obligatoire" sign in French, various sizes and materials

"Port du gilet de sauvetage obligatoire" sign in French for areas near water

The ECO119 "Port du gilet de sauvetage obligatoire" sign in French helps visually remind people that a life jacket is required before entering or working in a specific area. It is suited to docks, shores, platforms, marinas, loading areas near water, port work, maintenance tasks and sectors where a personal flotation instruction must be seen quickly. The mandatory pictogram and French message make the instruction easy to identify. This sign supports visual prevention without replacing internal procedures, risk assessment, training, supervision or the other controls that apply.

Several materials, sizes and formats are available from the drop-down menu.

UV-protecting lamination, retro-reflective sheeting or photoluminescent finishing can also be requested depending on the need. For a custom sign, another language or a specific configuration, contact Sylprotec before ordering to validate the right format and material.

Applications for the ECO119 "Port du gilet de sauvetage obligatoire" sign in French

The ECO119 sign can be installed at the entrance to an area where workers, visitors or subcontractors must wear a life jacket before starting the task or moving near water. It helps place the instruction at the right point, before exposure to the hazard, so the reminder is visible when people need to equip themselves.

Installation and care for vinyl, plastic or aluminum signs

Select the material according to the surface, environment and expected duration of use. Self-adhesive vinyl is suited to clean, smooth and dry surfaces; plastic and aluminum are better when a rigid sign plate is required. Clean the sign gently with a non-abrasive cloth and replace it if the message, pictogram or colour becomes difficult to read.
