Prohibition Signs

Choose the right restriction for the location

Select the wording that accurately describes the restriction in force. Prohibition signs use a recognisable red circle-and-bar symbol against a white background so the message is understood at a glance. Products are available in multiple sizes as rigid panels and self-adhesive stickers, with materials including aluminium composite panel, aluminium, polypropylene, foam PVC and corflute. Use the size appropriate for the viewing distance; larger panels suit building entries and gated access points while labels and smaller signs work well on equipment or internal doors.

This collection includes state-specific smoke-free signs for Queensland healthcare facilities and schools, in addition to pictogram-only formats and standard text signs. If a required prohibition is not in the stock range—for example a site-specific access restriction, a custom wording requirement or a bi-lingual message—a custom sign can be produced with the exact text and layout needed.

Pair with mandatory signs for complete area control

Many access and hazardous-area controls require both a prohibition (what must not be done) and a mandatory instruction (what must be done before entry or during the task). Browse mandatory signs to find the complementary instruction, or view the combined mandatory and prohibition signs collection for a single-stop selection.
