Authorised Persons Only Signs

Clear and Effective

Easy to understand - Combining bold, simple text and highly visible images, our ‘Authorised persons only’ signs remove any uncertainty as to where your employees and visitors are allowed and not allowed to enter. By ensuring areas of potential risk have the correct signage featuring unmistakable instructions, you can help to ensure that health and safety procedures are followed.

Leave no doubt - The most common image used in our Authorised Persons Only signs is that of a person holding their hand towards to viewer in an obvious ‘stop’ motion. Even for those who cannot read the accompanying text - the message is clear thanks to the unmistakable image as well as the familiar red circle with a line through it. This symbol is widely used and meets the European Normative BS EN ISO 7010 legislation, meaning it’s universally easy to understand.

Safety Comes First

Inform of unsafe areas - Signs that restrict access are necessary to alert employees and visitors to areas they cannot enter; this is a safety precaution that must be adhered to for your business to comply with current guidelines.

Avoid accidents - In areas where there is a potential risk to the safety of those present, it is important to make people aware of any potential dangers in the area. Accident avoidance is a priority in all working environments, and the implementation of the correct signs will ensure your workforce can perform their duties in safety, knowing which areas contain potentially harmful machinery or materials. For example, the risk of electric shock in areas with high-voltage machinery could be greatly reduced by displaying one of our Danger High Voltage/No Admittance Signs in a clear and suitable location such as the entrance to the area.

Cover all bases - All businesses will be able to find something appropriate for their workforce within this range. Authorised Persons Only Signs can indicate a variety of warnings from risks posed by such things as dangerous chemicals, electrical power supplies and hazardous machinery as well as many others. When further information is required on signage, you may wish to consider our multi-message signs that can simultaneously warn of hazards, inform of correct procedures and provide instructions to the viewer.

Considering Security

Restrict access - It’s not always possible to keep restricted areas locked, especially when fire safety is considered. It’s therefore important that you are able to prevent visitors, members of the public and even unauthorised employees from entering areas where the security of your workplace can be put at risk. For example, computer server rooms, areas containing vaults or safes and even staff break areas and locker rooms should be kept secure and clearly.

Employees Only Signs are useful in terms of security – preventing customers and clients from drifting into the wrong area of a building or factory floor. Similarly, No Admittance Authorised Personnel Only Signs are ideal for instructing members of the public not to enter restricted areas. Advising members of the public to that the area is not accessible to them removes any doubt and can imply potential risks to their safety, causing them to think twice before entering.
