Which Material Should I Choose?
Aluminium Composite: Best for permanent indoor or outdoor signage and locations requiring a rigid, durable sign.

Why this sign: It should be posted at doors or passageways that must not be used as an exit, such as one-way entry points, restricted access doors, or routes that lead into hazardous areas. Without clear prohibition signage, individuals may attempt to leave through an unsafe or unauthorised route, creating collision risks or breaching security controls.

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.
