Keep Clear signs are essential for marking areas in front of fire extinguishers, fire hydrants, first aid stations, eyewash stations, emergency exits, and any pathway or doorway that must remain unobstructed.
Keep clear signs are used to maintain safe and open access to critical areas. A sign like the fire equipment keep clear sign prevents obstructions in front of fire-fighting equipment, emergency exits, and electrical panels.
OSHA 1910.303(g) requires a clear working space (often 36 inches) to be maintained in front of electrical panels. A keep clear stencil enforces this rule, ensuring an electrician can safely access the panel in an emergency.
Keep clear messages are available as standard wall signs, highly durable floor signs, and floor marking tapes, such as an electrical panel keep clear stencil, which are very effective for marking the 36-inch clearance zone in front of panels.
Yes, blocking access to emergency equipment or electrical panels is a direct violation of both OSHA regulations and local fire codes, which can result in significant fines and, more importantly, a delayed response in an emergency. This makes them crucial for regulatory and compliance.
