Applications for the EOD139 mandatory respirator sign

The EOD139 sign can be installed at the entrance to a workshop, near a dusty area, around a cleaning station, in a laboratory, near a spray area or in any sector where respirator use must be confirmed before access. It is useful when people move from a general area to an operational area and must immediately understand that respiratory protection becomes mandatory.

Material choice for a respiratory protection sign

Choosing a sign depends on the right material, reading distance, work environment and required format. Self-adhesive vinyl is suited to clean, smooth and dry surfaces, especially indoors or in a protected location. Plastic can be used indoors or outdoors, but colours may fade faster if the sign is exposed to UV light. Aluminum is often recommended outdoors, in workshops or in areas where impact is possible. UV-protecting lamination may slow fading, without preventing it permanently.
