A Confined Space Do Not Enter Label has official ANSI headers for safety protocol and compliance. A Confined Space Do Not Enter Label is a helpful resource to help protect the health and safety of personnel, and is not a substitute for required protective measures for reducing or eliminating hazards.
Why UL 969 Labels Are Important
Proven Compliance & Liability Protection
UL 969 certification confirms the label meets rigorous durability and legibility standards recognized by safety regulators, reducing liability exposure for your customers.
Durability Built for Industrial Environments
The protective overlaminate resists abrasion, moisture, UV exposure, and chemicals — ensuring warnings remain legible throughout the product's service life, even in harsh conditions.
Supports Multi-Standard Compliance
Meets ANSI Z535 / OSHA requirements while also satisfying LEED, RoHS, CA Prop 65, REACH SVHC, and ECCN — a single label solution for customers with complex compliance.
Permanent Adhesive Performance
High-performance pressure-sensitive adhesive bonds permanently to industrial surfaces, eliminating the risk of labels peeling, shifting, or failing in the field.
Trusted by OEM & Safety Professionals
UL® Recognized marking signals quality to procurement teams, safety officers, and OEM customers who require verified materials for regulated labeling applications.

Confined Spaces – A Brief Overview
What is a Confined Space?
OSHA defines a confined space (non-permit and permit-required) as a space that is:
Large enough for an employee to enter and perform work
Has limited or restricted means for entry or exit
Is not designed for continuous occupancy
What is the difference between a "permit-required" and "non-permit" confined space?
Permit-Required Confined Spaces
Non-Permit Confined Spaces
Contains or has the potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere
Contains a material that has the potential for engulfing an entrant
Could trap or asphyxiate an entrant with inwardly converging walls
Could trap or asphyxiate an entrant with a floor that slopes downward and tapers to a smaller cross-section
Contains any other recognized serious safety or health hazard
Contains hazards capable of causing death or serious physical harm
From the chart above we can see that permit-required confined spaces can be extremely dangerous for workers, while non-permit confined spaces are not considered life-threatening. This doesn't mean precautionary steps shouldn't be taken before entering a non-permit space. Safety is essential no matter what the conditions are and because there is still the possibility of an injury occurring, only authorized personnel should enter the space.
OSHA states that if the workplace contains permit spaces, the employer shall inform exposed employees by posting danger signs, or by any other equally effective means, making them aware of the existence, location of, and the danger posed by the permit spaces.
Here are some examples of signs from SafetySign.com that would meet the requirements from OSHA:
SafetySign.com does not recommend or specify the use of a specific safety sign because it does not have knowledge of the hazard(s) our customers are identifying. It is the customer’s sole responsibility to identify the hazard(s) that may be present and select one or more signs (stock or custom) that accurately identify their specific hazard(s) and complies with any applicable federal, state or local laws or regulations, any worksite specific rules or regulations and/or any applicable safety standards (including, without limitation, ANSI and/or OSHA standards). SafetySign.com disclaims any and all liability (excluding liability for our Product Warranty contained in our Terms and Conditions) for any sign selected by a customer and shall not be responsible for any personal injury or property damage resulting from the use of signs purchased from it or for the independent interpretation made of any applicable federal, state or local laws or regulations, any worksite specific rules or regulations, and/or any applicable safety standards (including, without limitation, ANSI and/or OSHA standards). Customer shall indemnify and hold SafetySign.com and its corporate parent and its officers, directors and affiliates harmless from and against any and all claims, loss or expense (including attorneys’ fees) arising from or related to the purchase and use by customer or any third party of any sign purchased by customer from SafetySign.com.
