Custom Machine Hazard Signs

Machine hazard signs are critical for preventing severe injuries by serving as a constant reminder at the point of danger. As required by OSHA's machine guarding standards, these machine hazard signs alert operators and maintenance staff to risks like moving parts, crush zones, and high-voltage contact.

A "Keep Hands Clear" sign or a "Moving Machine Parts" sign can prevent a life-altering injury for a fraction of the cost of an accident.

A "Pinch Point" sign warns that a part of the machine can trap, crush, or amputate a worker's fingers, hands, or other body parts. These hazards are common where two moving parts meet, or where a moving part meets a stationary object, as defined by OSHA.

These pinch point signs must be placed directly on or near the hazard. A pinch point hazard sign provides a clear, compliant warning for any equipment with gears, rollers, or automated presses.

A "Lockout Before Servicing" sign is a crucial instruction required by OSHA's Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) standard. It commands maintenance staff to completely de-energize and lock a machine's power source before performing any service to prevent it from unexpectedly starting up.

Posting lockout signs is a mandatory part of the LOTO procedure. A "Lock Out Before Servicing" danger sign or a LOTO procedure poster are essential for protecting service personnel.

Yes, combining multiple warnings on one sign is a key benefit of using custom safety signs. This is both compliant and effective, as it allows you to communicate all hazards for a single piece of equipment (e.g., "High Voltage," "Pinch Point," and "Lockout Required") in one clear, organized sign.

Using a custom machine hazard template or a custom ANSI caution sign allows you to add multiple pictograms and text blocks to cover all the risks associated with a complex machine.
