Keeping people from smoking at your hospital or other medical facilities is important for the health and wellbeing of employees, visitors, and patients alike. In addition, federal law makes it illegal for anyone to smoke in a medical facility. Fortunately, The Sign Center is one of the top suppliers of no smoking signs for North Jersey.
Inform Visitors of No Smoking Laws
You can keep everyone who comes to your building informed of federal and local ordinances by placing non-smoking signs in the exterior surroundings and interior of your venue. No smoking areas need to be in place for many patients with medical conditions. This is especially true for those who use respiratory machines that dispense highly flammable oxygen. We offer no smoking signs specifically geared for designated oxygen storage areas in hospitals.
When smokers are jonesing for a fix, they may plead ignorance about the smoking laws. Depending on your needs, there are markers that can serve as a gentle reminder about the importance of not smoking or they can serve as an aggressive way to present the anti-smoking message. For instance, we offer markers that thank individuals for being considerate of others by not smoking.
You can offer good public safety with non-smoking signs by notifying people of the dangers associated with lung damage, showing that smoking is unacceptable in medical facilities, and by lowering the risks due to secondhand smoke. With just a few words, no smoking signs and decals for North Jersey can get your message across in a pleasant yet forceful and simple to understand manner. Markers play an important role in running a safe, secure, and healthy medical facility.
Types of No Smoking Signs
All no smoking signs are the same, right? They all pretty much look like the decal we produced for a local medical facility: they have the “no” symbol over a cigarette graphic and say “no smoking.” What other varieties could there possibly be? We are glad you asked:
- Bilingual No Smoking Signs – Is your clientele mainly Hispanic? Or, do they primarily speak languages other than English? Your English-only no smoking signs might get through to them, but in order to be on the safe side, consider using markers with English and Spanish or other languages.
- Oxygen in Use – As mentioned above, when oxygen is in use in an area, smoking can put people’s lives in imminent danger. Warn people with the appropriate signage.
- Smoking Permitted – Part of getting smokers to not light up in and around your facility is providing them with a spot where they can indulge in their habit. Use signs to show them where smoking areas are.
These are just some of the solutions we offer North Jersey medical facilities. We can even customize signs to include the message of your choice or your corporate logo and other branding. Finding and using the right no smoking signage can go a long way in protecting the health of everyone who frequents your hospital. Contact The Sign Center today for a free consultation and estimate.
