Respirator Zone - Danger - Asbestos - No Unauthorised Persons - No Smoking - Eating or Drinking - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Warn individuals about the presence of asbestos, a hazardous material that can cause serious lung diseases when inhaled. The sign clearly communicates that only authorised personnel wearing proper respiratory protection may enter, and that smoking, eating, or drinking is strictly prohibited to prevent contamination and exposure.

These signs are particularly important in construction sites, demolition areas, renovation projects, industrial facilities, and laboratories where asbestos-containing materials may be present. Placing the sign at the entrance to asbestos work zones ensures that anyone approaching the area is aware of the hazard and the required safety precautions before entry.

In addition to protecting health, the sign helps organisations comply with strict occupational health and safety regulations regarding asbestos handling. By controlling access and enforcing the use of respiratory protection, the sign reduces the risk of asbestos exposure, supports safe work practices, and minimises liability for the employer.

For maximum effectiveness, the sign should be prominently displayed at all entry points to the asbestos work area, at eye level and clearly visible from a distance. Bold, clear wording and hazard symbols ensure that personnel immediately understand the risks and safety requirements, maintaining a controlled, safe, and compliant work environment.

This sign states: RESPIRATOR ZONE - Danger, Asbestos - No unauthorised persons beyond this point - No smoking - No eating or drinking
