Correx: A lightweight, economical option for temporary or shorter-term signage.

PVC: A rigid, durable plastic option offering a balance between the low cost of Correx and the strength of Aluminium Composite, suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor use.

Why this sign: It should be posted at the water’s edge, on fences, gates, or posts wherever fishing is not permitted due to conservation, safety, or ownership restrictions. The sign addresses the risk of unauthorised fishing that can deplete protected fish populations, disturb ecosystems, or contravene water authority bylaws.

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.
