Why this sign: It should be displayed wherever active mobile phone signals pose a risk to safety, such as near medical devices, in areas with flammable vapours, or in security-sensitive zones. The sign specifically prohibits phones that are powered on and transmitting, rather than simply banning their presence, making the instruction precise and enforceable.

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.
