Restricted Area Signs - SC12

A restricted area sign clearly informs people that access to a particular area or designated zone is limited. These signs are commonly used to identify areas where only authorised personnel are permitted to enter, helping businesses control access and communicate important safety or security information.

A warning restricted area sign can be used where entering an area may present a specific safety risk, while a restricted zone sign clearly identifies areas where access is limited.

At Foamex Printing Company, we produce durable restricted area sign boards for workplaces, construction sites, industrial facilities, private premises and other controlled-access areas. Our signs are printed on durable Foamex board and supplied with practical fixing options for indoor and outdoor use.

The safety and security comes from the legal standing of this sign, which is granted to them by the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994.

Foamex Printing Company designs industrial-grade restricted area signs delivering them across the country within 3 to 5 days.

What are the Different Types of Restricted Area Signs?

Different messages can be used depending on why access to an area needs to be controlled.

• No Admittance: With text like Strictly No Admittance or No Admittance, these signs indicate private property.
  

• Authorised Personnel Only: Another form of sign saying exactly the same thing but with different text, this sign also prevents unauthorised entry.

• Specific Hazard Warnings: Signs with text like Danger of Crushing, Plant Room Door Kept Locked, etc. specifically mention the reason for no entry.

• Site Specific: Signboards like Keep off Scaffolding, No entry with Man,, etc. warn and inform people about the current situation.

• Vehicle and Route Access: With text like vehicles left at owners risk, no entry for specific vehicles, these signboards are used to enhance security.

• Self-adhesive backing
• Pre-drilled mounting holes
• Matt, gloss and dry-wipe finishes
• Anti-graffiti finish options

Compliance and Regulations for Restricted Area Signs in the UK

The restricted area signs in the UK are regulated by the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 meant for workplaces and private premises.

These regulations mandate prohibition signs, which have a red circle with a diagonal bar and are meant for areas where access is unauthorised.

The symbols, text, and pictograms to be used on the signboards must follow the EN ISO 7010:2020 standards.

As for the design, the TSRGD Schedule 3 talks about red-ringed signs for public roads and highways. It also mentions that ignoring these signs invites fine or 3 points under the Road Traffic Act 1988.
