Oxygen in Use Signs
Clinics, dental offices, home-care rooms and welding bays use oxygen, and this sign warns people to keep fire and smoking out of the space. Three lines cover the main message, so the sign suits a door people see before they enter.

Where oxygen in use signs are used
Respiratory therapy teams, veterinary hospitals and medical supply vans post this sign on the door of a room where an oxygen concentrator runs. Some hospice families ask for one on a bedroom door at home, so visitors know to leave candles and lighters outside. It tells a visitor that a cylinder or concentrator is running inside, so no one strikes a match or lights a cigarette in that space. Staff who rotate through the room may not know the oxygen is running, so the door sign covers that gap.
Choosing the size and where to hang it
Fasten it on the door at about eye level, where it is read before anyone steps in. The 36 in x 24 in size gives the four printed lines the most room, and the 24 in x 18 in size works for a smaller room door. Aluminum is the better pick for a garage or a room that gets cleaned often, since it is rust-free. Plastic is light and fits an indoor door with brass grommets and zip ties.
Questions about oxygen in use signs
Why is Danger the default?
Red Danger marks a hazard that will cause death or serious injury. Oxygen does not burn by itself, but it makes fires burn faster, which is why the red header is the default. Choose yellow Caution only if your safety officer says the risk is minor or moderate.
Which size fits three lines?
Three lines need more height than two, so compare the sizes in the live preview before you order. The 24 x 18 in landscape size gives the lines room, and the 36 x 24 in landscape reads from farther away.
Can I add the room name?
Yes. The extra line works well for a room name or a unit number, such as OXYGEN STORAGE. Keep the extra line short so the three main lines stay large and easy to read from the door.
Can I drop the NO OPEN FLAMES line?
The printed lines are fixed, so NO OPEN FLAMES stays on the sign. The optional extra line can hold a room or unit name, and it is the only space you can add text to. Keep the name short so the four printed lines stay easy to read at a glance.
Will the sign work on a door that opens a lot?
Aluminum and plastic both work on a door that opens often, but the mount has to stay firm. Aluminum with corner holes can take screws, and plastic uses its brass grommets with zip ties. Put the sign on the door face rather than the frame, so it moves with the door. Check your state and local rules for oxygen storage and no smoking signs.
