Do Not Use Mobile Phones Signs tell staff, visitors and contractors that mobile devices must not be used in restricted areas. You should install them where distraction, signal interference or ignition risk could affect safe work, controlled access or equipment reliability.

Where Do Not Use Mobile Phones Signs Should Be Positioned

You should install these signs at entrances, production rooms, laboratories, fuel storage points, clean areas, plant rooms and other controlled workplaces before people reach the risk point. Clear eye-level placement helps users act before switching on or handling a phone.

ⓘ Installation Guidance

❌ Do not rely on it alone where phones must be surrendered or stored
❌ Do not use it as a substitute for site induction or permit controls
❌ Do not choose adhesive vinyl for dusty, uneven or damp surfaces

✅ Smarter fitting decisions

✅ Fit the sign at eye level before the decision point
✅ Use larger sizes for long corridors, open rooms or vehicle access points
✅ Pair it with clear staff procedures where phone restrictions affect safety-critical work
