Hand Protection Symbol - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

A visual safety sign that indicates the mandatory use of protective gloves or handwear in a specific area. The symbol typically shows a stylised hand wearing a glove, often inside a blue circle, which is a common design for mandatory safety signs.

This symbol is used in workplaces like laboratories, construction sites, factories, chemical plants, medical facilities, and any area where hands are exposed to hazards such as chemicals, sharp objects, heat, or biological agents. It is placed at entrances, near machinery, or workstations where wearing hand protection is required.

The main purpose of the Hand Protection Symbol is to provide a clear, quick, and universal reminder that gloves must be worn to prevent injuries or contamination. It helps ensure compliance with safety regulations and supports a culture of personal protection.

In summary, the Hand Protection Symbol visually communicates the need for wearing gloves, making it easier for everyone - regardless of language - to recognize and follow hand safety requirements.
