When COVID-19 struck, North American Signs quickly identified a need to begin making life saving face shields and barriers for use by medical personnel and others.


“We wanted to do our part to help prevent the spread of Covid-19. So, when we saw a need arise within essential businesses, we sprung into action,” said John Yarger, North American Signs President and CEO.


“Transparent physical barriers for medical, office, retail, and other settings allow people to be in closer proximity and reduces the risk of infection. I believe we can play an important role in both protecting people and aiding the resumption of more normal business conduct.  Helping our country be successful provides a strong motivating force for our employees,” Yarger said. 


The shields help prevent the spread of any droplet-based contagions in grocery stores, at bank teller windows, for healthcare workers in hospitals, and any place where workers come into contact with customers or patients.


Essential workers are the heartbeat of our country—from grocery store clerks, to police officers and firefighters, to healthcare personnel and facilities management. They keep America running. “Because of their daily sacrifice, Safety Shield (a subsidiary of North American Signs) is committed to protecting the health and safety of all people, so that you, your friends, family, and our essential workers can keep running,” Yarger concluded.
