Obligation signal pictogram and text Mandatory use of hearing protection COFAN

The "mandatory use of hearing protection" sign indicates to workers or users in the industry in general that they must wear hearing protectors to avoid the risk of hearing injuries. The use of hearing protectors is usually mandatory in factories, workshops, assembly, the aviation industry, among other fields of work.

An ear protector is a device used to protect the ears from loud noises and prevent hearing damage. These devices can be earplugs or special headphones that reduce the sound level reaching the inner ear. The mandatory use of ear protection may be required in workplaces where intense noise occurs, such as in a factory or construction site. It may also be recommended at events with loud music, such as concerts or festivals.

The sign must be placed in a visible location that is easy for users to appreciate. Meanwhile, the sign consists of text and a pictogram related to this safety sign.

Among the most common technical features of theObligation signs COFANThey are found:

• Form: It is usually a circle with a blue border and an icon.
• Size:It can vary depending on the size and location of the work area.
• Colors:Safety signs use specific colors to communicate their message. The color blue is commonly used to indicate that the use of personal protective equipment is mandatory.
• Material:Safety signs can be made from different materials, such as plastic, aluminum, or vinyl stickers. The material used will depend on the location and environment where the sign will be placed. For example, if the sign is placed in an area with a lot of dust or humidity, it is advisable to use a material that is resistant to these conditions.

PVC ADHESIVE SIGN (STICKER)

The signs are made on a sheet of glossy white monomeric calendered vinyl self-adhesive.

A color coating is applied to it using screen printing techniques.

The adhesive is protected against the elements by a glossy transparent calendered laminate.

Our products areNO TOXIC, NO RADIOACTIVE, NO COMBUSTIBLE, and RESISTANT TO AGING..

SEMI-RIGID PVC SUPPORT - GLASSPACK

Compressed PVC support with a glossy finish, of high optical quality, especially suitable for printing using screen printing techniques with UV-curable inks in offset.

MONOMERIC SELF-ADHESIVE VINYL SUPPORT

Digital printable calendered monomeric vinyl film (80µ) glossy white self-adhesive.

Removable water-based acrylic adhesive that allows you to fix and remove the application with very light finger pressure, and then lift and reposition it if necessary (this characteristic is lost when excessive pressure is applied).

COLOR LAYER INKS

Color layer (according to signal needs) using UV-curable screen printing inks for versatile use on various plastics.

These are inks with a glossy finish, whose mixture of compounds and radiation curing method give them excellent elasticity and reactivity, not only in overprinting but also when bending and die-cutting.

Mixture of oligomers, monomers, photoinitiators, and pigments.

The ink contains the following hazardous elements:

To correctly place a mandatory sign indicating that the use of gloves is required, it is important to ensure that it is clearly visible to people entering the work area. It is recommended to place the sign at eye level and in a location where it cannot be obstructed by other objects or signs.

TheFIXATIONThe signaling element must be placed on a firm surface and free of dirt.

The signal can be secured by means ofMECHANICAL ELEMENTS(screws, rivets, etc...) orADHESIVES(mounting adhesive, glues, silicones...) carefully, avoiding soiling the visible surface or deforming it.

MAINTENANCE AND RECOMMENDATIONS

In order to preserve the functionality for which the signaling systems have been designed, SEKURECO recommends keeping the signs free of dust, dirt, or any residue or object that may obstruct their visibility and identification.

For cleaning, it is recommended to use soapy solutions preferably, avoiding the use of solvents or abrasive products that may damage the surface of the sign.

The working temperature should not exceed 45º C. Higher temperatures may deform the supporting material.
