Highly Flammable No Smoking Signs
Highly Flammable No Smoking Signs combine a flammable warning with smoking and naked light prohibitions, helping you control ignition risks near fuels, solvents, gas stores, chemical cabinets and restricted work areas where staff or visitors need instant instruction.
Where Highly Flammable No Smoking Signs Should Be Positioned
You should install this sign at fuel stores, chemical cupboards, solvent shelves, plant rooms, workshops, gas cylinder storage points and access doors before anyone reaches the hazard. Clear visibility matters because smoking, lighters and open flames must be stopped before a person enters the risk area.
Practical Viewing Distance for This Multi-Message Sign
Use the larger 400 x 600mm format where people approach from corridors, yards or wider work areas. Keep the sign at normal eye level where possible, with an unobstructed viewing line before the ignition risk is reached.
| Sign size | Suggested clear viewing range | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| H 400 x W 600mm | Up to 12–18 metres | Stores, yards, entrances and wide workspaces |
| Smaller local signs | Up to 5–8 metres | Cabinets, cupboards and close approach points |
What This Sign Helps People Do Differently
Once fitted, this sign gives people a clear stop-and-think instruction before they smoke, strike a match, use a lighter or bring an open flame near flammable substances. It supports safer behaviour at the point where a poor decision could create a fire risk.

Fitting Guidance for High-Risk Flammable Material Areas
❌ Do not fit it behind doors, stock, shelving or stored containers.
❌ Do not place it after the hazard point where people have already entered.
❌ Do not install it so low that trolleys, pallets or bins block the message.
❌ Do not rely on it for emergency escape, fire equipment or first aid directions.
❌ Do not use it alone where a site needs substance-specific COSHH controls.
❌ Do not choose vinyl for rough, dusty, damp or heavily textured surfaces.
✅ Use rigid plastic on walls, doors and exposed work areas needing durability.
✅ Use vinyl on smooth cupboards, cabinets and clean indoor surfaces.
✅ Position it at eye level on the approach side so the restriction is seen early.
