The Safe Use of Knives – Safety Instructions Sign

The “The Safe Use of Knives” safety sign is an important visual guide designed to promote safe knife handling procedures in kitchens, food factories, and other workplaces where knives are used regularly. The sign features a prominent exclamation mark icon at the top, followed by the bold title “The Safe Use of Knives”. Below are eight critical safety points:

1. Always select the correct knife for the task.
2. Knives should be kept sharp and have handles that can be properly held.
3. When using a knife, use a firm grip, try to use even pressure for cutting, cut downwards and avoid cutting towards the body.
4. Never try to catch a falling knife.
5. Knives should not be left lying around on worktops and tables. They should not be placed unprotected in cupboards or drawers, nor left in washing up water. They should always be stored in suitable sheaths or racks.
6. Cutting blocks, tables, and boards should be firm, smooth, and clean.
7. There should always be enough room so that a person using a knife is not in danger of being bumped by another person or placing another person at risk.
8. Never walk around with a knife in your hand, unless the blade is covered.

Manufactured from durable, weather-resistant materials, this sign is suitable for indoor environments like kitchens, food processing areas, and catering facilities. It can be mounted on walls or relevant equipment to promote safety awareness and reduce accidents.

Available in range of sizes (mm): 400 x 300, 600 x 450, 800 x 600.
