Turn Off All Mobile Phones Signs
Turn Off All Mobile Phones Signs tell staff, visitors and contractors to switch devices off before entering sensitive areas. Use them near laboratories, clinics, control rooms, reception points and restricted workspaces where phone signals, noise or distraction could affect safety, privacy or equipment.
Where Turn Off All Mobile Phones Signs Should Be Fitted
You should install this sign at eye level before the point where phones must be switched off, such as doors, reception desks, treatment rooms, laboratories, server spaces and controlled work areas. Position it where people decide what to do, not after they have already entered.
Viewing Distance Guidance for Mobile Phone Prohibition Signs
For close-range entry points, the 100 x 200mm format is best viewed from roughly 1–3 metres. Use larger signs only where people approach from longer corridors, wider entrances or across busy reception areas.
| Size option | Suggested viewing use | Typical location |
|---|---|---|
| H 100 x W 200mm | Approx. 1–3 metres | Doors, counters, small rooms and close approach points |
What This Sign Helps People Do Differently
Once fitted in the right place, this sign gives people a clear instruction before they enter a controlled area. It helps you reduce phone-related interruption, protect sensitive tasks and support staff who need a simple visual rule to point to.

Fitting Advice for Mobile Phone Switch-Off Areas
❌ Fitting it too low where bags, desks or door handles hide it
❌ Placing it inside the room after people have already entered
❌ Using it where a softer “silent phones” instruction would be clearer
❌ Do not use it if phones are allowed but calls are restricted
❌ Do not rely on it alone for secure no-device areas
❌ Do not fit vinyl to dusty, damp or uneven surfaces
✅ Mount it before the controlled area so people can respond in time
✅ Keep the symbol and wording visible from normal approach direction
✅ Use rigid plastic where cleaning, knocks or long-term use matter
Turn Off All Mobile Phones Signs questions answered
What are Turn Off All Mobile Phones Signs used for? They tell staff, visitors and contractors that mobile phones must be switched off before entering a controlled or sensitive area.
Where should I place this sign? Fit it at the entrance, door, reception point or access route where people can act before taking a phone into the area.
Is this the same as a no mobile phones sign? Not exactly. This sign tells people to turn phones off, which is stronger than simply discouraging calls or phone use.
Why would a workplace need people to switch phones off? Phones can cause distraction, unwanted noise, privacy issues and possible interference around sensitive equipment or controlled tasks.
Which material should I choose? Use self-adhesive vinyl on smooth clean surfaces and rigid plastic where you need a more durable wall or door-mounted sign.

Helpful prohibition signs for public behaviour control
