ANSI Danger: Rotating Machinery Keep Hands Away

This sign is used to tell people about the danger of moving machinery. It reminds workers to be careful around rotating machinery, belts, shafts, rollers and powered equipment areas. This sign is about warning people of the dangers of moving machinery.

You should put this sign in places where people can see it easily, like near rotating equipment on machine frames or on equipment panels. You can also put it on control panels, operator stations, safety boards, manufacturing floors, warehouses and industrial equipment stations. The sign should be on a surface so it is easy to read.

If you want to know more about the rules you can look at OSHA 29 CFR 1910.212 which's about general machine hazards. You can also look at OSHA 29 CFR 1910.145 which's about accident-prevention signs and tags. Additionally you can check out ANSI Z535.2-2023, which's about environmental and facility safety signs and ANSI Z535.4-2023 which is about product safety signs and labels. This is a guide and not a certification.

You still need to follow lockout/tagout procedures, inspect equipment, train employees and make sure equipment is safe. This sign is a visual reminder and does not take the place of real safety procedures.
