UK PPE signs: a buyer's guide
PPE signs are blue circles with white pictograms — the standard BS EN ISO 7010 mandatory format. They tell people what PPE must be worn in a specific area. Construction sites, factory floors, warehouses, food processing plants, healthcare clinical areas, and laboratories all use them widely.
The standard PPE pictograms
- Hard hat / safety helmet — required on construction sites and in industrial entrances
- Hi-vis clothing — required wherever workers and vehicles share space
- Safety footwear — required in factory floors, construction sites, warehouses
- Ear protection — required where noise exceeds 80 dB action level
- Eye protection — required where flying particles, chemicals, or radiation present risk
- Respiratory protection — required where airborne hazards (dust, fumes, biological) present risk
- Gloves — required where skin contact with hazards or sharp materials is foreseeable
- Face shield — required where full-face protection is needed
- Safety harness — required for working at height
Combined PPE signs
For entries to construction sites or factory zones requiring multiple PPE items, combined signs are common. We supply standard combinations (e.g. "Hard hat + hi-vis + safety footwear") plus bespoke combinations to specification.
Where to place PPE signage
At the boundary of the PPE-required zone, in the line of sight of anyone entering. For a construction site, the main gate plus secondary access points. For a hard-hat-zone within a building, at the door to that zone. Signs work best when paired with practical means of access to the PPE itself (PPE station, dispenser, or signage to where PPE can be obtained).
