Prohibition - Eco Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs - Trade Only Supplier
Using eco-friendly materials for information signs is an important step towards reducing environmental impact. Traditional sign materials like plastics and non-recyclable composites often contribute to pollution and landfill waste. By opting for sustainable alternatives such as recycled metals or biodegradable plastics, businesses and organisations can minimize their carbon footprint and promote responsible resource use.
BS EN ISO 7010:2020 was developed to provide consistency in Safety sign design across the UK and EU. By using ISO 7010 pictograms and symbols, our prohibition Safety signs provide universal recognition - this means that a prohibition symbol in the UK will look the same as it would in all other European countries.
Prohibition Safety signs advise viewers of actions which should not be carried out within specific areas. They incorporate a red circle with a diagonal red line through it and a black pictogram. Supplementary text must be white on a red background and must tell viewers what they should not do in order to stay safe.
Examples of prohibition text are: Do not "____" | No "____" in this area | Thank you for not "____" | Unauthorised persons may not "____".
We provide a wide range of prohibition Safety signs and products covering virtually all types of instruction - from "No Alcohol" to "Do not Walk Here".
