Why this sign: It is used at entry points to areas where outdoor shoes pose a contamination, hygiene, or surface-damage risk. Typical locations include food production facilities, sterile environments, sports halls with specialist flooring, and cultural or religious spaces where shoe removal is required.

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.
