A white pictogram on a solid blue circle, requiring an action.
Also known as: Blue circle sign, Mandatory sign, Must do sign, PPE sign
A white pictogram on a solid blue circle requires an action — wear eye protection, wash your hands, use the handrail. Blue is the exact opposite of the red prohibition circle, and the two are told apart by fill: blue is solid, red is an outline with a bar.
Requires the depicted action of anyone in the area — commonly wearing protective equipment, washing hands, or using a designated route.

A solid blue disc with a simplified white pictogram at its centre, most often a head shown from the front wearing protective equipment.
Blue circles require an action and red circles forbid one; both are circular signs and the colour carries the entire distinction.
