Prohibition Signs (Portrait) for Restricted and Unsafe Actions

Prohibition Signs (Portrait) tell workers, visitors and contractors what is not allowed, such as no smoking, no entry, no mobile phones, no open flame or no unauthorised access. They are useful at entrances, process areas, stores and controlled zones.

Safety Sign Selection Guide

Standards, Materials and Placement Notes

Prohibition signs work best when they are specific, visible and backed by a clear site rule. Avoid relying on a small sign where a barrier, permit system or briefing is also needed.

Common Questions

Which safety sign material should I choose?
Use self-adhesive vinyl for smooth indoor surfaces, rigid PVC for general indoor areas, aluminium or reflective material for tougher outdoor or traffic environments, and photoluminescent material where low-light emergency visibility is required.

Can Safetyware help with custom safety signs?
Yes. Contact Safetyware with your message, size, material, language, quantity, artwork or site requirement for quotation and production support.

How often should safety signs be reviewed?
Review signs during risk assessment updates, workplace inspections, layout changes, audits and incident investigations. Replace signs that are faded, damaged, blocked or no longer accurate.
