Download for the sign shop
A PDF at the sign's real size, a print PDF with 3 mm bleed and crop marks, or EPS and SVG for vinyl cutting and large-format printers.
Construction site safety signs that are read at the gate
The hard hat sign is a mandatory sign for the site gate: the helmet symbol in a blue circle, HARD HATS MUST BE WORN in a solid band, on this site at all times under it, and a footer with the builder's name and the site office number.
More PPE on one board
Copy the page and change the instruction for hi-vis vests, safety boots or ear protection; many sites put several mandatory signs side by side at the entrance.
Weatherproof printing
For outdoors, ask the printer for corrugated plastic (Correx) or aluminium composite, which stand up to rain and sun far better than paper.

Questions
What size is a site safety sign?
A3 (297 x 420 mm) and 400 x 600 mm are common for gates and hoardings. Change the size at the top.
Is the hard hat symbol the official one?
It is drawn in the same plain style as standard mandatory signs. Where a specific standard is required, check the symbol your regulator asks for.
What file does a sign shop need?
A vector PDF, EPS or SVG at the sign's real size. For a printed panel ask whether they want bleed (the print PDF adds 3 mm); for cut vinyl letters, send the SVG or EPS.
How big should the letters be?
A common sign-trade rule is 1 inch of letter height for every 10 feet people read it from (about 25 mm per 3 m). A shop front read from across the street needs letters 150 mm or taller.
Can I put my logo and a QR code on a sign?
Yes. Your logo goes in under Brand or from Uploads. Make a QR code in the QR code generator, download the PNG or SVG and add it from Uploads.
Is the sign maker free?
Yes, converting is free: the conversion and checking the result cost nothing, and the work runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded. The side-by-side preview on the converter pages comes with a free account. Saving the finished file is paid: $3.49 for one file ($3.99 for a technical file such as DXF, G-code, STL or embroidery) with no account needed, or included in a plan from $6.99 a month. Saving the print file is paid: one file without an account, or included in a plan.
