Prohibition Signs

Prohibition Signs are visual symbols that tell people what they are not allowed to do or prohibited from doing in a specific area or situation. These signs are used to communicate important safety rules and regulations without using words. They are simple and easily recognisable, conveying information across different languages and literacy levels.

In Australia, these signs follow the Australian Standard AS 1319-1994, which sets the guidelines for safety signs. The colours and shapes used for Prohibition Signs are:

• Colour: The background of Prohibition Signs is typically red, which is easily noticeable and signals a clear warning.
• Shape: The shape of these signs is circular, with a white symbol or picture in the centre, representing the specific prohibition.

Prohibition Signs are commonly found in workplaces, public spaces, construction sites, and other locations where safety regulations must be enforced. They serve as visual reminders of what actions are forbidden to prevent accidents and maintain a safe environment.

Custom Signs

Custom signs are specialised signs created to convey specific messages or information tailored to a particular context or location. In the case of Prohibition Signs, custom signs may be designed to communicate unique rules and restrictions relevant to a specific area or organization.
