OSHA 1910.133 requires eye and face protection wherever workers face hazards from flying particles, molten metal, liquid chemicals, acids or caustics, chemical gases or vapors, or injurious light radiation. Missing signage is a common eye-protection citation.
Match the sign to the hazard. Safety glasses handle flying particles; goggles are for chemical splash and fine dust because they seal to the face; and a face shield with glasses is for high-impact or heavy-splash work, where the shield is secondary protection over primary eyewear. Post the sign that names the exact protection needed.
Post saftey glasses signs where workers enter the eye-hazard zone — at every doorway and access point into shops, grinding and machining areas, chemical rooms, and welding bays — at eye level and unobstructed, then repeat within large areas. A floor sign or message mat at the threshold catches workers looking down as they step in.
Yes. SlipSafe adhesive floor signs and PPE message mats put the "safety glasses required" reminder right at the entrance underfoot, where a wall sign can be missed. They're especially effective at the boundary between a safe zone and a hazard area.
Yes, and it reduces sign clutter. A combination sign such as Safety Glasses and Steel Toe Shoes Required or Hard Hats, Safety Glasses and Safety Shoes Required shows every requirement in one place, so workers see the full PPE picture before entering.
Yes to both. Bilingual English/Spanish signs make sure every worker understands the requirement, and a custom PPE sign lets you specify the exact eyewear, area, or combined PPE your site needs. The blue pictogram carries the message even for workers who read neither language fluently.
Create a list of present hazards — particles, splash, radiation, impact — and pick the sign that names the matching protection (glasses, goggles, or face shield), in the header severity that fits, then post it at every entrance and repeat it inside.
