Vehicle-only loading bays, forklift operating zones, motorway hard shoulders, industrial roadways within factory or warehouse sites.

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.
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 entry points to areas exclusively designated for vehicle movement, such as forklift corridors, haulage yards or plant roads, where the presence of pedestrians significantly increases the risk of a fatal or serious injury incident. The sign provides a clear legal and visible instruction that pedestrians must not enter, supporting traffic management plans and compliance with workplace transport safety regulations.

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.
