Why this sign: Camera phones prohibited signs should be posted wherever unauthorised photography could breach data protection, intellectual property, or personal privacy obligations. They are appropriate in secure workplaces, examination venues, and any area where sensitive information, proprietary processes, or vulnerable individuals may be present. The sign serves as a clear, legally supportable deterrent against accidental or deliberate image capture.

Compliance note: In Ireland, employers must provide appropriate safety signage where hazards cannot be avoided or adequately reduced by other measures, based on the workplace risk assessment, under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007. This sign is suitable for use as part of a workplace safety-signage system where identified by that risk assessment.
