Prohibition Labels

Prohibition labels are used to clearly show actions that must not be carried out, helping you prevent unsafe behaviour before it happens. You should place them on machinery, entrances, storage areas and equipment where specific activities such as smoking, access or operation are restricted. Positioning them at eye level and directly at the point of risk ensures your team instantly recognises what is not allowed.

By displaying prohibition labels, you reduce the likelihood of unsafe actions, protect people and maintain control across your site. You create a clear visual rule that supports consistent behaviour, helping your team avoid mistakes and follow site requirements without hesitation. This leads to fewer incidents, improved compliance and a safer environment where risks are clearly managed and understood.
