Mandatory sign - blue circle
Eye protection signs
Eye injuries often come from small, fast things: sparks, chips, dust and splashes. A clear eye protection sign at the door or bench reminds people to put protection on before they start. These printable signs use the blue circle with white goggles, with wording for eye protection, safety glasses, safety goggles, face shield, combined eye and ear protection, and beyond this point. Print on A4 or A3, in portrait or landscape. For other protective equipment, see the PPE signs page.

Print tips
- Print at "actual size" or 100%, not "fit to page", so the margins stay even.

- For outdoor or long-term use, laminate it or buy a rigid version.
Where to use it
- Workshops, grinding and cutting areas
- Chemical stores and cleaning-product areas

- Garages and vehicle workshops
- Salons and studios where products or tools can splash or spark
Questions
What do I need to wear when the sign shows goggles?
Eye protection suited to the hazard: safety glasses, goggles or a face shield. Your risk assessment or the equipment maker's instructions say which.
Does the sign provide eye protection?
No. It is a reminder; the employer or user must supply suitable protection.
Is there a combined eye and ear sign?
Yes. Use the eye and ear protection sign where both are needed.
Which size should I print?
A4 on doors and benches, A3 at larger entrances.
