French sign " Asbestos hazard, no entry without equipment " sign: many sizes, shapes, materials & languages + optional features

French “Danger amiante, entrée interdite sans équipement, protection obligatoire des voies respiratoires, protection obligatoire du corps, chantier interdit au public” - which translates to “Asbestos hazard, no entry without equipment, mandatory respiratory protection, mandatory body protection, work site closed to the public” - sign of various sizes and different materials: Plastic, aluminum or self-adhesive vinyl. English and bilingual signs are also available when local regulations allow it. Two-face signs (V-shaped) and signs perpendicular to the wall (L-shaped) are also available; of course, they come only in plastic or aluminum. You can select an optional UV-protecting lamination to preserve the colors longer; for superior visibility, you have an alternative between a retroreflective pigmentation and a photoluminescent coverage. Size wise, 6”x 9” and 8”x 12” are the most common sizes sold, but any other format can be cut as long as a special order has been placed. Contact Sylprotec for signs in another language, for custom-made signs or if you want one of the options listed above.

The Act Respecting Occupational Health and Safety, more specifically section 51, requires that any employer takes the necessary measures to protect the health and ensure the safety and physical well-being of his worker. Although not mandatory, displaying safety signs is quite recommended to indicate the position of potential sources of danger. Signs that use the standardized symbols of are so well outlined and deliver so swiftly the message you wish to spread that whatever the prohibition, people will understand regardless of their language abilities. This poster is very interesting since it brings together in one the personal protective equipment (PPE) frequently requested on construction sites where asbestos is removed.

Choosing a sign depends on several factors which have to be included in the equation: the ideal material for your workplace, the distance at which the sign will be seen which pins down the size of signs, the way the work environment is shaped which determines the format of signs -let’s say in a hallway, one usually finds an L-shaped sign, but in a wide room or at the junction of a T-shaped corridor, one finds a V-shaped sign since it allows a 180-degree perspective.

Plastic signs can either be displayed inside or outside. Please note that if your sign is exposed to UV light, colors will fade faster. UV-protecting lamination will slow down the process of fading but the colors will ultimately disappear. Aluminum signs suit a better purpose outside; of course, they can be displayed indoor, especially in an environment where an adverse impact is likely. Self-adhesive vinyl signs work just fine outside but are better fitted for indoor places.
