Why does a business need to display restricted access or no entry signs?
Restricted access and no entry signs are essential for maintaining workplace safety and compliance with legal requirements. These signs:
- Clearly communicate which areas are off-limits to unauthorised personnel.
- Help prevent accidents by keeping individuals away from hazardous zones, such as construction sites or areas with dangerous machinery.
- Ensure compliance with Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996, which require businesses to provide adequate signage for safety and security.
- Protect sensitive or confidential areas, such as server rooms, laboratories, or offices, ensuring data and operational security.
The Sign Shed offers a variety of access signs, including:
- No Entry Signs: Clear messages like "No Entry Without Authorisation" for restricted zones.
- Staff Only Signs: Ideal for private areas such as offices or staffrooms.
- Authorised Personnel Only Signs: Perfect for industrial or high-security areas.
- Custom Signs: Tailor-made signs to suit specific access control needs, such as branded messaging or unique instructions.
Where should access awareness signs be placed?
Restricted access signs should be installed at:
- Entry points to hazardous areas (e.g., chemical storage, high-voltage zones).
- Doors leading to staff-only areas or private offices.
- Perimeters of construction sites or industrial zones.
