Commandment signs for safety and occupational health

Commandment signs clearly indicate required behaviour and protective measures. HILPRESS offers self-adhesive HIL-SIGN® commandment signs for different areas of occupational safety and health, including the use of eye, hearing, respiratory, hand, foot and face protection. The signs are available in different sizes and with different meanings.

HIL-SIGN® commandment signs for workplace safety measures

Commandment signs make it clear which behaviour or protective measure must be followed in a specific working or hazardous area. They are typically displayed as a white symbol on a blue background. This makes required safety measures easy to recognise and clearly communicate.

HILPRESS HIL-SIGN® commandment signs are specified according to ASR A1.3 and DIN EN ISO 7010 and are proven in practical use. The range covers different requirements in companies, workshops, production areas, technical installations and other working environments.

Commandment signs for personal protective equipment

A large part of the range identifies areas in which specific personal protective equipment must be used. These include commandment signs for eye protection, hearing protection, respiratory protection, face protection, hand protection, foot protection, protective clothing and fall-arrest harnesses.

A combined sign stating “Eye and hearing protection must be worn” is also available. This allows a required combination of protective measures to be displayed with a single sign.

When selecting a sign, the symbol should clearly correspond to the intended protective measure. This allows employees and visitors to be informed of the applicable requirements before entering or using the relevant area.

Different sizes for different marking areas

Compact versions with diameters of 100 mm or 200 mm are available for many round commandment signs. Other sizes are available for specific markings.

The “Disconnect the mains plug” commandment sign is also available with diameters of 12.5 mm, 25 mm and 50 mm. Special signs containing text or more detailed information are partly available in rectangular formats, for example measuring 200 × 120 mm.

The correct size should be selected according to the available space, the intended viewing distance and the specific marking requirement.

Commandment signs for technical and electrical working areas

In addition to signs for personal protective equipment, HILPRESS offers commandment signs for specific actions on machines and electrical installations.

These include the sign “Disconnect the mains plug”. Special markings such as “Five Safety Rules”, “Before touching: discharge, earth and short-circuit” and notices regarding discharge times are also available.

This makes the category suitable for working areas in which defined safety-related actions are required before maintenance, servicing or other work is carried out.

Self-adhesive commandment signs made from polyester film or PVC

HIL-SIGN® commandment signs are made from self-adhesive plastic film, depending on the version. HILPRESS offers polyester film and PVC film versions.

The signs feature white printing on a blue background. The exact temperature resistance depends on the film material and the respective product version. Please check the technical data of the selected article before use.

The self-adhesive design allows the signs to be applied to suitable, clean surfaces. When selecting the installation location, make sure that the commandment sign is clearly visible and that its meaning can be recognised unambiguously at the intended position.

How to choose the right commandment sign

First determine which action or protective measure needs to be identified. For personal protective equipment, signs for eye, hearing, respiratory, hand, foot and face protection are available.

For technical work processes, commandment signs such as “Disconnect the mains plug” or special signs for electrical safety measures may be required.

The appropriate size should then be selected. The mounting surface, visibility and operating conditions should also be taken into account.

The filters in the HILPRESS online shop allow you to select products by meaning, diameter and other dimensions.
