In any environment, whether in the workplace, in public spaces or on the street, safety and order are crucial. Prohibition signs are an effective way of communicating rules and regulations. They provide clear and unambiguous instructions to prevent accidents and create a safe and orderly environment.

Prohibition signs are visual means of communication that serve to prohibit certain actions or behaviours that pose a danger or are undesirable. They are an important part of safety communication and help to ensure safety and order in various environments and protect employees from accidents at work.
In their simplest form, prohibition signs consist of a circular red ring with a diagonal line. Inside the ring is a symbol or representation of the action or behaviour that is prohibited. The red colour and the universal "prohibited" symbol make these signs easy to recognise and understand, even if there are language barriers.
Prohibition signs are used in a variety of contexts. They can be used to prohibit smoking in certain areas, restrict access to dangerous places, require the wearing of safety equipment or prohibit photography or filming in sensitive areas.
Although prohibition signs are a simple and cost-effective method of improving safety and order, their effectiveness is heavily dependent on them conforming to current standards and therefore being universally understood. Placement also plays an essential role.
Our prohibition signs are made exclusively from high-quality plastic to ensure uniform quality and durability. This material is characterised by its resistance to various environmental influences and offers a high degree of flexibility during installation. The prohibition signs are available in a classic flat shape, which simplifies installation on walls, doors or other flat surfaces. They are also weather and UV resistant, making them an ideal choice for both indoor and outdoor workplaces/premises.
The effective communication of prohibitions depends heavily on the visibility of the sign. Our prohibition signs are therefore available in the tried and tested size of 200 mm diameter, which has proven to be particularly effective for being clearly visible from a reasonable distance of around 20 metres. This size is ideal for drawing attention to the displayed prohibitions while ensuring compliance with safety regulations.
By focussing on a high quality material and a universally applicable size, we ensure that our prohibition signs meet the safety requirements in a wide range of environments, enabling clear communication of prohibitions and helping to maintain a safe working and living environment.
The use of prohibition signs is not only a matter of safety, but also a legal requirement in many areas. These signs are required by law in many situations to ensure that certain actions or behaviours that are considered dangerous or undesirable are prevented.
In Germany, the design and use of health and safety signs, including prohibition signs, is regulated by the Workplace Ordinance (ArbStättV) and the accident prevention regulation DGUV Rule 100-001. These laws stipulate where and when prohibition signs must be used and which standards they must comply with.
The most relevant standard for prohibition signs is DIN EN ISO 7010, which defines a series of standards for the design and use of safety signs. It specifies which symbols and colours may be used, how large the signs must be and how they should be positioned to ensure maximum visibility and comprehensibility.
It should be noted that failure to comply with these legal requirements and standards can have serious consequences, including legal liability in the event of an accident or injury. It is therefore crucial for companies and organisations to ensure that their prohibition signs comply with legal requirements.
