Where Petroleum Spirit No Smoking Signs Should Be Positioned

You should install this sign at entrances to petroleum spirit stores, fuel cabinets, dispensing points, workshops and maintenance areas where people may smoke, carry cigarettes or enter without realising the ignition risk. Place it before the hazard, not after it, so the warning is seen in time.
