French OSHA “Warning No Smoking Turn Off Engine” sign in various sizes, materials, languages & optional features

French "Warning No Smoking Turn Off Engine" sign

The EOS501 French "Avertissement Interdiction de fumer Arrêtez le moteur lors du remplissage" sign reminds users of two important instructions in a filling, fueling or fuel area: do not smoke and turn off the engine. It suits workshops, garages, docks, service areas, fuel zones, filling stations and locations where an ignition source must be avoided during the operation. Its message helps employees, visitors, delivery personnel, contractors and users quickly understand the expected behaviour. This sign supports prevention and visual organization without replacing internal procedures, applicable regulations, ventilation, supervision, training or other required controls.

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 EOS501 fueling sign

The EOS501 sign can be installed near a fueling area, filling station, garage, workshop, dock, technical room or sector where fuel is handled according to site procedures. It helps remind people of the instruction where equipment is used, moved or filled.

Material choice for a filling area 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 garages, workshops, docks and areas where impact is possible. UV-protecting lamination may slow fading, without preventing it permanently.
