ESD PROTECTED AREA - GROUND BEFORE HANDLING

The last sign you’ll ever need.

Printed signs fade and fail—CNC-carved HDPE is permanent.

Precision CNC-carved from a .25” thick, sheet of solid Color Core HDPE, this is not a printed or laminated sign—it’s built to withstand indoor or outdoor industrial environments without peeling, fading, rusting, or rotting.

This ESD PROTECTED AREA – GROUND BEFORE HANDLING, ANSI-style Caution sign is designed to identify areas containing electrostatic discharge-sensitive components commonly found in aerospace, avionics, and defense electronics manufacturing. It reinforces grounding and handling protocols required to prevent latent or catastrophic damage to sensitive systems.

This sign has a YELLOW background with BLACK inner core color, compliant with ANSI Z535 standards for the “CAUTION” category.
