Crush Hand Symbol ISO W030 Sign

The Crush Hand Symbol ISO 7010 W030 Sign is designed to provide a clear visual warning of locations where hands may be at risk of crushing due to movement within a press or other machinery. Featuring the internationally recognised ISO 7010 W030 warning symbol, this sign helps machinery operators, maintenance personnel, contractors and employees quickly identify potentially dangerous crushing areas and take appropriate precautions.

Suitable for factories, manufacturing plants, engineering workshops, fabrication facilities, production lines, automated machinery and other industrial environments, this sign can be positioned directly on or adjacent to presses, machinery, guards, access panels and other equipment where hand crushing hazards have been identified.

Hand crushing injuries can occur when fingers or hands enter the operating area of machinery where moving components close against each other or against a fixed surface. Presses and similar machinery can generate substantial forces, meaning contact with the operating mechanism can result in severe crushing injuries, fractures or permanent damage to the hand.

The ISO 7010 W030 symbol provides a standardised graphical warning specifically intended to highlight the risk of crushing of the hand between parts of a press. Its clear visual design allows the hazard to be recognised quickly without relying solely on written instructions, making it particularly useful in workplaces with multilingual employees, contractors and visitors.

Clearly displayed Crush Hand Symbol signage should be positioned close to the relevant hazard where it can be easily seen before a person approaches or operates the equipment. It can be used alongside machine guards, interlocks, light curtains, emergency stops, isolation procedures and other engineering controls identified through an appropriate machinery risk assessment.

Personnel should never reach into the hazardous operating area of a press or other machinery while it is capable of movement. Cleaning, maintenance, adjustment and clearing of blockages should only be undertaken in accordance with established safe working and isolation procedures.

The Crush Hand Symbol ISO 7010 W030 Sign can assist employers, machinery operators, engineers and health and safety professionals in reinforcing safe working practices and supporting compliance with relevant requirements including the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 and the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 where applicable.

Manufactured from durable, high quality materials with excellent print clarity and visibility, the Crush Hand Symbol ISO 7010 W030 Sign provides a professional and long lasting solution for identifying serious hand crushing hazards around presses and machinery. It helps improve hazard recognition, reinforce machinery safety procedures and reduce the risk of serious hand and finger injuries.
