Construction site perimeter fencing, private warehouse or industrial facility entrances, restricted access corridors in commercial buildings, blocked or dead-end pathways in public areas.

Which Material Should I Choose?
Aluminium Composite: Best for permanent indoor or outdoor signage and locations requiring a rigid, durable sign.
Correx: A lightweight, economical option for temporary or shorter-term signage.
Self-Adhesive Vinyl: Best for application directly to smooth, clean surfaces such as doors, panels and equipment housings.

Why this sign: It should be posted wherever a route, passageway, or area is closed to pedestrian through-traffic, whether due to safety hazards, restricted access, or a dead end. It addresses the risk of people entering dangerous or unauthorised areas by providing a clear, unambiguous visual instruction to stop and not proceed.

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.
