French OSHA “Notice Used Oil” sign in various sizes, materials, languages & optional features

French "Notice Used Oil" sign

The EOAV310 French "Avis Huile usée" sign identifies an area, container, drum, bin, cabinet or location reserved for used oil. It helps distinguish recovered liquids from new products, solvents, ordinary waste or containers waiting for treatment. Its message is useful in mechanical shops, garages, warehouses, maintenance rooms, collection areas, loading docks and sectors where oil must be clearly grouped. This sign supports visual organization and environmental prevention without replacing internal procedures, regulatory labelling, safety data sheets, appropriate containers or controls required by the site.

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. Please contact customer service for sign formats other than those offered in the options above, as well as for English or bilingual signs. Please allow four (4) weeks to receive special orders. If you cannot find the sign you need, please contact our customer service team to obtain custom signage.

Applications for the EOAV310 used oil sign

The EOAV310 sign can be placed near a drum, recovery bin, cabinet, maintenance room, garage, workshop, oil change area or dock where used oil must be separated from other products. It suits commercial, industrial, institutional or municipal environments that manage recovered oil and want to limit confusion at the drop-off point.

Material choice for a used oil 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.
