Compliant safety signage for emergency exits and traffic areas.
Sylprotec offers this sign in self-adhesive vinyl, rigid plastic, or aluminum, depending on your installation and durability needs. Standard formats include 6 x 9 inches and 8 x 12 inches, with custom dimensions available upon request. L-shaped (perpendicular to the wall) and V-shaped (double-sided) models provide optimal visibility in corridors and intersections. Optional features such as UV-resistant lamination, retroreflective finish, or photoluminescent coating enhance readability in low-light or high-risk conditions.
Installation depends on the material selected. Self-adhesive vinyl applies easily to clean, smooth surfaces, while plastic or aluminum signs can be mounted using screws, industrial adhesives, or wall brackets. L-shaped and V-shaped signs are ideal for high-traffic areas, offering 180-degree visibility. For best results, place the sign at eye level near areas prone to obstruction.
Sylprotec’s CDN signs are built for durability. UV-resistant lamination protects against fading, while aluminum and plastic materials offer excellent resistance over time. Clean the sign regularly with a soft cloth and non-abrasive cleaner to maintain legibility and ensure ongoing compliance with safety standards. Aluminum signs are especially suited for outdoor use or high-impact zones.
To maximize the effectiveness of your “do not obstruct” sign, incorporate it into a broader risk management strategy. Position it near emergency exits, safety equipment, or frequently used passageways. Complement your signage with other CDN signs and regular training on evacuation procedures. Periodically check the sign’s condition and visibility, especially in industrial or warehouse settings.
