Why this sign: This sign should be posted at the entrance to or within any area where work activities present a risk of facial injury from projectiles, sparks, molten material, or hazardous liquid splashes. It is a mandatory PPE instruction sign under ISO 7010 (reference M013), used wherever a standard safety visor or full-face shield is required by risk assessment. Displaying this sign ensures legal compliance with PPE regulations and alerts workers and visitors to the required protective equipment before they enter a hazardous zone.

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.
