No Access Unless Trained And Authorised Signs

Use this prohibition sign at restricted access points where a person must be both trained and authorised before entering. Choose from four sizes and several material formats for wall-mounted indoor or outdoor display.
No Access Unless Trained and Authorised Sign clearly tells people that entry is restricted to those who meet both conditions. Position it before the access point to give a clear decision before entry, helping you reinforce training, permission and access-control procedures.
Where You Should Install
Position this sign on or immediately before an entrance where access depends on a person being both trained and authorised. It should be visible on the normal approach before someone reaches the access decision point, rather than only becoming noticeable after they have entered the restricted area.
Viewing Distance Based on Selected Size
No certified metre-based viewing distances are supplied for these variants, so choose the size according to how people approach the restriction. A larger format is generally more useful as the approach becomes longer, the access point wider or the surrounding visual information more distracting.
| Size selected | Practical viewing and approach guidance |
|---|---|
| H 210 x W 148 mm | Best considered for close approaches where people naturally come near the access point before deciding whether to enter. |
| H 297 x W 210 mm | A useful step up where the message needs to become apparent earlier on a normal approach. |
| H 420 x W 297 mm | Better suited where the approach is longer or the access point is larger and earlier recognition is important. |
| H 594 x W 420 mm | Choose for the longest approaches, larger restricted entrances or locations where the sign must compete with more surrounding information. |
Expected Safety Outcomes After Installation
Correct positioning should make the entry condition clearer before a person reaches the restricted point. The sign supports your access procedures but does not create training, authorisation or physical access control by itself.
✅ Earlier recognition that access is restricted before the person reaches the entrance.
✅ Clearer understanding that both training and authorisation are required before proceeding.
✅ Reduced ambiguity over who should and should not pass the access point.

Installation Guidance
Placement mistakes to avoid
❌ Installing the sign where it is only visible after someone has passed the restricted point.
❌ Selecting a size that is difficult to recognise on the normal approach to the entrance.
❌ Allowing doors, equipment, stored items or other information to obstruct the message.
What this sign cannot do alone
❌ Do not treat the sign as a physical means of preventing unauthorised entry.
❌ Do not use it as a substitute for the training and authorisation process referred to by the message.
❌ Do not rely on it in darkness without suitable lighting because it is non-photoluminescent and non-reflective.
Best-practice positioning
✅ Position the sign before the access decision point and within the natural sightline of approaching people.
✅ Match the selected size to the scale of the entrance and how early the restriction needs to be recognised.
✅ Keep the sign visible and unobstructed, and review its position whenever the access arrangement or surrounding area changes.
Frequently asked questions
Is the No Access Unless Trained and Authorised Sign right for my restricted area? Choose this message when a person must satisfy both conditions before entering: they need the required training and they must also be authorised. If your rule is based only on permission, a different authorised-personnel message may describe the restriction more accurately.
Where should I position the sign? Place it where someone can see and understand the restriction before reaching the point at which they could enter. Check the main direction of approach rather than choosing a convenient wall position that may be outside the natural sightline.
Which size should I choose? Base your choice on how far away people normally begin to approach the entrance, the scale of the access point and the amount of competing visual information. Use larger formats where earlier recognition is needed; the available sizes are not supplied with certified metre-based viewing distances.
Can this sign be displayed outdoors? The product range is listed for indoor and outdoor display. Choose the material and fitting arrangement appropriate to the intended location and mounting surface.
Does the sign glow or reflect in darkness? No. The supplied specification identifies it as non-photoluminescent and non-reflective. If the restriction must remain clearly readable in poor lighting, make sure suitable illumination is provided rather than relying on the sign to glow or reflect.
Does displaying the sign replace training or physical access controls? No. It communicates the restriction and supports your wider arrangements. Training, authorisation procedures, risk controls and any necessary physical access measures still need to be managed separately.
