Applications for the EOS502 sensitive area sign

The EOS502 sign can be installed near a fueling area, filling station, garage, workshop, dock, technical room or sector where flammable materials may be present according to site procedures. It helps remind users of the instruction where people circulate, handle equipment, fill a container or access a controlled area.

Material choice for a no open flame 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.
