The Importance of Temperature Check Signs

By utilizing Temperature Check Signage, companies and organizations can quickly notify clients, guests, and employees that they must be screened for COVID-19 by having their temperature taken. Signage can also provide directional information to the testing area(s), as well as additional information related to the test. A typical screening process includes quickly having a person’s temperature taken. If a person’s temperature is satisfactory, he/she might receive a sticker signifying they are “clear” for the day. On the other hand, an employee screening positive might be sent home or possibly referred for additional screening; facility visitors might not be allowed inside the facility.

Where are Effective Locations for Temperature Check Signs?

One of the primary considerations in choosing where to locate Temperature Check Signage is high visibility for those entering the facility (or even prior to). Directional signage is also important, ensuring that clients, employees, and other visitors can find their way to a temperature check station. Here are just a few locations to consider:

1. Facility entrance/front door - An obvious location, and an important one, to alert visitors and employees before they step into your building that a temperature-check protocol is in effect. An opaque window cling on a glass front door or front window works well here, as does a posted aluminum sign or yard sign placed at the entrance.

2. Parking lot/grounds - Placing signage in the parking lot or on the exterior grounds near the main and secondary entrances can help ensure visitors and employees are aware up-front that their temperature will be taken prior to admittance. For instance: yard signs installed on the grass leading up to your entryway, or A-frames strategically placed in the parking lot area. And if you’re sending people to an alternative entrance for temperature-checks, you can use these signs to point the way.

3. Lobby - You’ll most likely utilize directional signage here, leading visitors and others to your “temperature checkpoint.” Counter cards set on the lobby desk, foamboard signage placed on an easel, and posters adhered to the lobby backdrop all function well here.

4. Employee common area(s) - Here, you can place reminder signage as well as directional/information signs, which can take the form of posters, counter cards, foamboard, and aluminum and plastic signage.

5. Interior walls - Placing Temperature Screening This Way signage on interior walls throughout your facility will help ensure that visitors (as well as employees) can more quickly find your temperature screening station. Mount or hang aluminum or plastic signs on interior walls, or use foam board set on easels.

6. Front windows/glass - Opaque window clings can serve to colorfully announce that all visitors must be temperature-screened, and also direct folks to the temperature screening station.

7. Elevator/stairwell - Don’t neglect these spaces, which provide opportunities for additional signage. Aluminum signs or plastic signs placed inside elevators and in stairwells can provide directions to screening areas.
