Eye Protection Required Signs
Shop floors, grinding stations and cutting areas use this sign to remind workers to wear eye protection before they start a task. The two short lines read quickly from a bench, a doorway or across a busy aisle, so the rule is clear before anyone picks up a tool.

Where eye protection required signs are used
Metal fabricators, woodworking shops and auto body bays hang this sign on a wall behind a grinder, over a welding table, or on the side of a parts washer where splashes fly. Makerspaces and school tech rooms use it on the cabinet where safety glasses hang, so the rule is seen at the moment someone reaches for them. It is a simple reminder for a volunteer or a student who comes in only for an afternoon.
Choosing the size and where to hang it
Place it on the wall at about eye level, close to the bench or tool it protects, so the rule is seen while the task is set up. The 18 in x 12 in size suits a bench or a cabinet door, and the 24 in x 18 in size reads from the middle of a room. Plastic is light and works indoors with brass grommets and a zip tie to a pegboard. Aluminum suits a dusty, damp or outdoor spot, where rust-free metal fits the space.
Questions about eye protection required signs
Which header fits eye protection?
Yellow Caution is the default and covers a hazard that could cause minor or moderate injury, such as flying debris. Blue Notice suits a plain rule with no specific hazard, such as a visitor area. Your safety officer can make the final call.
Should I name the task on the sign?
Use the extra line for the station or task, such as GRINDING AREA, if the sign hangs at one spot. A sign for the whole shop can skip the extra line and keep the two main lines large.
Which size works at a bench?
The 12 x 18 in portrait size fits a column or bench post. The 18 x 12 in landscape size fits a wall above a workbench. Aluminum is the firmer pick for a shop wall, and plastic is lighter for a spot that changes.
Is plastic too light for a grinding room?
Plastic is .020 in styrene, light and square-cornered. It suits a clean bench area with little grit in the air. For a room with sparks, grit or heavy traffic past the door, the .040 in aluminum is the steadier choice, and it can take holes for a firm mount.
Does the sign replace the glasses at the station?
No. It is a reminder of a rule, not eye protection. The glasses or goggles still have to be on hand and worn for the task. Place the sign where a worker sees it before starting, so the reminder arrives at the right moment. Check your state and local rules for the eye protection your work requires.
