Applications for the EOAV328 respiratory protection sign

The EOAV328 sign can be installed at the entrance to a work zone, near a workshop, before a cleaning station, close to a painting area, in a production space or in a maintenance sector. It helps remind people of the instruction before they enter an area where a cartridge respirator must be worn.

Material choice for a cartridge respirator 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.
