Shield Up Before You Step In – Radiation Protection Awareness Safety Sign

Shield Up Safety Reminder Sign — “Shield Up Before You Step In” (7" x 11")

Help foster a culture of radiation safety with our new Shield Up Safety Reminder Sign, designed to encourage consistent use of protective gear before anyone enters a room where x-ray exposure may occur. Inspired by recent discussions in radiation protection education, these signs provide a much-needed visual prompt for Radiology, Fluoroscopy, Interventional Radiology, Cath Lab, and Operating Room teams—especially those who benefit from extra reminders.

Promote Safer Habits, One Reminder at a Time

While Radiologic Technologists are typically vigilant about wearing their aprons, thyroid collars, and lead glasses, other clinical teams may unintentionally overlook these essential safeguards. This sign helps reinforce the expectation of proper protection—before stepping into the room and throughout procedures where radiation is in use.

Ideal Placement Locations

Position signs in high-visibility areas where protective decisions are made, including:

• Fluoroscopy Control Rooms
• Interventional Radiology & Cath Lab Control Rooms
• OR Room Entrances
• Above OR Scrub Sinks
• Near Scrub Sinks in Imaging Departments

Why It Matters

A single reminder at the right moment can have a profound impact on reducing unnecessary radiation exposure—not just for patients, but for every member of the healthcare team. These signs support facilities in improving compliance, building awareness, and promoting a safer, more mindful working environment.
