Designated swimming beaches, inland reservoirs and lakes, protected marine conservation areas, harbours and ferry terminal approaches

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

Self-Adhesive Vinyl: Best for application directly to smooth, clean surfaces such as doors, panels and equipment housings.

Why this sign: This sign should be displayed at water access points, shorelines, or jetties where windsurfing poses a risk to swimmers, vessel traffic, or sensitive habitats. It is appropriate wherever local bylaws, safety assessments, or environmental designations restrict board-sail activity. Clear prohibition at entry points helps enforce water-zone management and reduces the likelihood of accidents or enforcement disputes.

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.
