Do Not Touch Symbol (Roll of 100 Labels) - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

This clear visual warning is used to prevent people from physically interacting with specific objects, surfaces, or equipment. It features a universally recognisable symbol—a hand reaching out with a red line through it—signaling that touching is strictly prohibited. The main reason for using this label is to protect individuals from hazardous items and / or to prevent damage to sensitive equipment.

This label is essential in industrial and laboratory environments, where machines may have moving parts, hot surfaces, sharp edges, or exposed electrical components. It alerts workers and visitors to keep their hands away to avoid burns, cuts, electric shocks, or other injuries. In laboratories, it may be used on equipment containing hazardous chemicals or delicate instruments that could be contaminated or malfunction if touched.

Another important use is in museums, galleries, and cleanrooms, where sensitive objects, artwork, or sterile equipment must not be handled to preserve their condition or maintain hygiene. In public or shared spaces, these signs help reduce the risk of contamination, especially in areas with hygiene concerns like medical facilities or food processing zones.

"Do Not Touch" labels are typically placed directly on or near the hazardous or sensitive item, at eye level or near the point of potential contact. Their bold design ensures quick recognition, even in busy or visually cluttered environments. By discouraging physical contact, these labels play a crucial role in ensuring safety, cleanliness, and asset protection across a wide range of industries and settings.
