RADIATION KEEP AWAY SIGN
A sign delivers instant hazard recognition
Our UK-made radiation keep away sign delivers instant hazard recognition wherever ionising radiation is present. It uses the ISO 7010 warning symbol (W003) and clear “Keep Away” text so staff, visitors and contractors understand the risk in seconds. Designed and manufactured in Borehamwood, it’s tough, legible and built for compliance with BS 5499 & EN ISO 7010.
Compliance & symbol
The triangular yellow/black warning format follows UK rules for safety signs and signals, while the W003 pictogram communicates “radioactive material or ionising radiation”. Use this sign at the point of decision—doors, barriers and approaches—to controlled or supervised areas.
Sizes & materials
Choose from our standard sizes or request a custom size. Materials: Self-adhesive vinyl (smooth doors, cabinets), 2 mm PVC (lightweight indoor), 3 mm/5 mm Foamex (rigid panels), or 3 mm aluminium composite (ACP) for long-term outdoor use. All options are printed high-resolution with UV-stable inks for durability in hospitals, labs and plant rooms.
Where to use
Typical locations include x-ray suites, radiotherapy/linac rooms, NDT bays, nuclear medicine stores, research labs and any controlled area designated under IRR17. Position at entrances and along approach routes so it can’t be missed.
Installation & service
Install with VHB tape, screws or clean-remove adhesive (on request). We manufacture in Borehamwood for fast lead times, offer free local delivery within 3 miles of WD6, and ship next-day across mainland UK. Need a different legend or bilingual text? We’ll create a matched, compliant variant and keep it on file for repeat orders.
