Clearly identify areas where asbestos-containing materials are present and where only trained, authorised personnel are allowed entry. Asbestos is a hazardous substance that can cause serious respiratory diseases, including asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma, when inhaled. This sign serves as a critical warning to prevent accidental exposure, protect health, and ensure compliance with safety regulations.

This sign should be installed at the perimeter of asbestos work zones, demolition areas, refurbishment sites, or storage locations containing asbestos materials. It should be highly visible at entrances, fencing, or access points, so that anyone approaching the area is immediately aware that unauthorised entry is strictly prohibited. For larger sites, multiple signs may be required around the hazard zone to ensure coverage and reinforce safety protocols.

Using a Danger - Asbestos No Unauthorised Persons Beyond This Point sign protects workers, contractors, visitors, and the general public by clearly communicating the risk and restricting access. It helps prevent accidental inhalation of asbestos fibers and ensures that only properly trained personnel with appropriate protective equipment handle asbestos-containing materials.

Ultimately, this sign promotes compliance with occupational health and safety regulations, fosters a safe working environment, and mitigates the serious health risks associated with asbestos exposure. It is an essential component of asbestos risk management and site safety planning.
