No Admittance without a Work Permit - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Restrict access to hazardous or controlled work areas unless proper authorisation and a valid work permit are in place. This ensures that only trained and authorised personnel enter areas where high-risk activities, such as hot work, confined space entry, electrical work, or maintenance on hazardous machinery, are being carried out. The sign helps prevent accidents, injuries, and regulatory violations.

Using this sign helps ensure compliance with health and safety regulations, such as the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER), as well as industry-specific permit-to-work procedures. It provides a clear visual warning to employees, contractors, and visitors that entry without the appropriate work permit is strictly prohibited, reducing the risk of unauthorised access and ensuring that safety protocols are followed.

Placement of the sign is essential for effectiveness. It should be installed at all entrances, access points, or doors leading to restricted work zones, at eye level and in a clearly visible location. In larger facilities, additional signs may be used to reinforce the restriction along corridors or approaches to high-risk areas, ensuring that only authorised personnel can enter.

Additionally, displaying a No Admittance Without a Work Permit sign promotes a culture of safety, accountability, and regulatory compliance. It reminds workers and contractors to follow proper procedures, ensures that risk assessments and safety measures are in place, and demonstrates the organisation’s commitment to protecting personnel, maintaining safe operations, and complying with legal and industry standards.
