Legislation


We offer a range of benefits to our customers, and as the leading distributor and manufacturer of safety solutions in the world, we make it our job to ensure that all the products we stock meet expected health and safety legislative standards.

In the working environment, it is important to highlight areas of non-admission, to keep both the workers within these areas, as well as those who might enter, safe from harm. It is better to prevent accidents and security risks with good safety practices from the start and using Keep Out signs is an effective way to begin.

When deciding which Keep Out signs to use, you can refer to the HSE’s set of regulations on safety signs in the workplace. According to the HSE, it is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that all risks that cannot be avoided or controlled through other measures, must be flagged with proper signage. It is also the employer’s responsibility to use traffic signs to regulate traffic when needed, maintain the signs that are installed, and also explain what the signs mean to employees, and what they should do when they see those signs.

When choosing the right signs to use, and deciding on where to place the signs, you can refer to the HSE’s comprehensive Guidance on Regulations for safety signs and signals in the workplace.

With Seton, you can shop with confidence, knowing that our products will help you to meet current UK and EU laws.

Safe and Simple


Keep out confusion - All of our Safety Signs use a combination of easy-to-understand messages and simple imagery and our Keep Out Signs are no exception. Most feature the widely-recognised exclamation point symbol that is both eye-catching and makes it clear that the instruction should be followed.

Our Keep Out Signs all feature easy-to-read bold text to reinforce that the area is out of bounds. Our ‘Keep Out’ Mandatory Signs clearly instruct employees, visitors and the public to keep out of certain areas on your premises and can be universally applied, so you can be position them wherever they are required.

Keep Out Signs can be very useful in informing the public not to enter restricted areas. Advising passers-by to keep out immediately makes them aware that it is an area that they should not be entering without approval. Signs that feature more than one message, such as our ‘Danger High Voltage/Keep Out’ Multi-Message Signs, can provide more information as to the reasons for the area being off limits and enforce safe working practices.

Does Every Workplace Need Keep Out Signs?


Some organisations have a clear need to find a reliable supplier of keep out signs. This is particularly true of workplaces using heavy-duty equipment, storing hazardous materials, or with other urgent requirements for this sort of safety signage.

However, organisations of all types and sizes need to carry out H&S risk assessments and look for locations and situations that demand a keep out sign.

Keep out warning signs may be warranted in far more places than you realise. This could involve various indoor and outdoor locations, representing a risk to employees, visitors or the general public.

For instance, there is a diverse range of situations that could become hazardous when an unauthorised person deliberately and inadvertently intrudes, from store cupboards to flat-roof surfaces.

An obvious example is using a high voltage keep out sign around any electrical infrastructure, or a keep out sign on panels and barriers around sensitive technical equipment.

You don’t have to store large amounts of dangerous chemicals to require keep out signs for storage areas either. Even a cleaning supplies cupboard could benefit from you erecting caution keep out signs.

It is about managing your compliance but also your duty of care, insurance liabilities and the potential for legislative action against you, if you don’t issue safety warnings.

In addition, keep out warning signs can protect your commercial ‘secrets’ and privacy, such as an area of your venture that is under development, or your R&D department.

Another example would be danger keep out signs around your outer perimeters, and places where intruders could gain access to your site, or worse still climb on buildings. The fact that you have been diligent in placing this type of warning signage – including universal keep out sign designs – gives you an important degree of protection should someone be injured on and around your premises.

It is clear, then, that everything from schools to tourist attractions and public buildings will have some need for keep out signs. Also, hotels, restaurants, pubs, places of worship and care homes need to be scrupulous in managing their liabilities and flagging up risks to employees, residents, visitors and the general public.

Remember also that all commercial, public sector, health and educational organisations need to fulfil their duty of care and risk management by choosing pictorial caution keep out signs and other health and safety signage. The use of universally understood symbols is encouraged by legislation but is also common sense to create ‘at a glance’ messaging about the risks of intrusion and incursion.

Choosing The Right No Entry Signs


When selecting the right No Entry signs for your workplace, there are a number of considerations to keep in mind. It is important to ensure that these signs are highly visible, and also that they are well maintained and routinely checked for wear and tear.

It is also important to consider the type of sign needed. For temporary needs such as No Entry road signs during road work or utility work, a stanchion sign is a great choice as it is easy to place and move. For other temporary needs, Seton offers a temporary, post-mounted Keep Out sign which is easy to mount and reusable for both indoor and outdoor environments.

For large work sites or work sites such as factories which have many potential safety hazards, Seton also offers multi-packs of Danger Keep Out signage and High Voltage/Keep Out/No Entry signage which are cost-effective choices. If a workplace has specific needs such as electricity hazards, we also have a number of signs which specifically mention this risk, including our dual message, Danger High Voltage/Keep Out sign and stanchion sign.

As always with safety measures, the most important thing employers need to remember is to properly inform and train employees. It is important that all employees recognise what the signs mean and also know what to do when they see the signs.
