Which Material Should I Choose?
Aluminium Composite: Best for permanent indoor or outdoor signage and locations requiring a rigid, durable sign.

Why this sign: Aerosol cans contain pressurised flammable propellants that can ignite near heat sources, open flames, or electrical equipment, creating fire or explosion hazards. This sign should be displayed in any area where aerosol use could compromise safety, hygiene, or equipment integrity, such as near ignition sources, in sterile environments, or in confined spaces with limited ventilation.

Compliance note: In Ireland, employers must provide appropriate safety signage where hazards cannot be avoided or adequately reduced by other measures, based on the workplace risk assessment, under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007. This sign is suitable for use as part of a workplace safety-signage system where identified by that risk assessment.
