Why this warning sign earns its place
Deep fat fryers are essential in any fish-and-chip shop, pub kitchen, or catering operation — but they're also a concentrated source of injury. 180°C oil splatters in unpredictable ways, a basket lowered too fast creates a steam explosion, and anyone standing too close gets scalded or burned. Most injuries happen because someone didn't fully register the hazard; they reach, lean, or move without thinking.
This 300 × 100 mm warning sign marks the danger zone directly on the fryer frame or the counter space immediately adjacent. The vinyl construction bonds permanently and won't peel, curl, or degrade in the oil mist and heat of a working kitchen. The symbol and text are unmistakable: stay back from the oil, watch for splashes, treat it with genuine respect.
Mount it where reaching into or over the fryer would require looking at the sign — on the guard, on the front frame, or on the counter edge. It won't prevent an accident on its own, but it reinforces training and stops casual carelessness dead.
