Yes, custom signs are often necessary to include specific instructions, directional arrows, or unique identifiers for your equipment. This ensures that in an emergency, the correct control can be located and operated without confusion. OSHA regulations require safety signs to be clear and understandable. Our custom emergency signs department allows you to create a sign that meets your exact needs. For example, you can add your specific wording to a template like our Custom Emergency Shut off Sign.
For outdoor use, durable, rust-proof aluminum or weather-resistant, UV-stable plastic are the best materials. These materials are designed to withstand exposure to sunlight, rain, and temperature changes without fading, cracking, or corroding, ensuring your critical safety message remains legible for years. A product like our aluminum Electrical Main Shut Off Sign is built for long-term outdoor performance. You can learn more by watching our video on how long your sign will last.
The sign should be mounted as close as possible to the control it identifies to prevent any confusion. For this purpose, an adhesive label like our Emergency Shut Off Label is ideal. However, a larger sign, such as our Electrical Power Shut Off Sign, should also be placed in the general area so it is visible from a distance, guiding responders to the control's location quickly. This approach aligns with visibility principles in standards like NFPA 70E.
Standard, pre-designed emergency shut-off signs are often in stock and can ship the same or the next business day. Custom orders may take slightly longer due to the design and proofing process, but we pride ourselves on rapid production. For specific questions regarding a large or time-sensitive order, please contact our customer service team for the most accurate timeline.
High-quality industrial-grade signs, particularly those printed on aluminum with a protective laminate, are designed to last for 10 years or more, even in harsh conditions. The laminate protects the printed message from UV fading, abrasion, moisture, and chemicals, ensuring the sign remains legible throughout its lifespan. This durability is evident in products like our Electrical Emergency Shut Off Sign. To see how this protective layer works, watch our video on laminated vinyl.
In an emergency, what will really help is a clearly marked power shut-off switch amongst 100 others found in control rooms. Avert a potential disaster with the help of Emergency Shut Off Signs.
