Dust Suppression must be Fitted when using this Machine - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Designed to remind operators and maintenance personnel that dust suppression equipment or systems must be in place before operating machinery. Dust generated by cutting, grinding, sanding, or other industrial processes can pose serious health hazards, including respiratory issues, and can also create fire or explosion risks. The sign helps ensure that proper safety measures are consistently followed.

These signs are particularly important in construction sites, woodworking shops, metalworking facilities, factories, and other workplaces where machines generate airborne dust. They should be displayed directly on the machine or near its control panel so that operators are clearly reminded to fit dust suppression systems before starting work.

In addition to protecting employee health, the sign supports compliance with occupational health and safety regulations. Proper use of dust suppression systems reduces exposure to harmful particles, minimises the risk of respiratory diseases, and helps maintain a clean and safe working environment. It also demonstrates that the employer is proactively enforcing safety protocols.

For maximum effectiveness, the sign should be placed prominently on or adjacent to the machine, where it is visible to all operators before they begin work. Clear, concise wording ensures that everyone understands the requirement, promoting safe machine operation and reducing the risk of health hazards associated with airborne dust.
