Applications for the EOAV333 lockout sign

The EOAV333 sign can be installed near equipment, a control panel, a maintenance area, a cabinet, a machine or a zone where a lockout procedure must be respected. It helps remind people of the instruction before servicing, adjustment, cleaning, inspection or maintenance work begins.

Material choice for a lockout protocol notice 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.
