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

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.

Disclaimer
This sign is not intended to replace mandatory “X-Ray In Use” warning signs or any regulatory signage required by your facility or governing authorities.
We can train. We can educate. But sometimes — we just need a reminder.
That’s why we’re introducing our NEW Shield Up Radiation Protection Reminder Signs as part of our ongoing safety initiatives. In busy imaging environments, staff often step into rooms “just for a moment ” without their radiation protection. Those moments still matter. A quick visual prompt at the right place can make the difference between exposure and protection. These high-visibility reminder signs encourage staff to pause and grab their Lead apron, Thyroid collar, and Lead glasses before entering rooms where x-ray is in use.
Where These Signs Make the Biggest Impact
Fluoroscopy control rooms
Interventional Radiology & Cath Lab control areas
OR entrances
Above OR scrub sinks
Near scrub sinks in imaging departments
And anywhere decisions are made quickly is exactly where reminders work best.
Why This Matters
Radiologic technologists are usually vigilant — but other clinical teams may not be. These signs help reinforce a shared expectation of protection without confrontation. It’s a simple step toward a stronger radiation safety culture.
