Restricted Area Signs

Restricted Area Signs indicate certain places or zones with limited access to authorised personnel. These signs are used to communicate that people who need proper permission should not enter those areas.

Restricted Area Signs are used in factories, construction sites, military installations, laboratories, and other sensitive places where safety or security is a concern. They help prevent accidents, protect valuable equipment, and maintain confidentiality.

In Australia, these signs are usually governed by the AS 1319-1994 standard, which provides guidelines for safety signs and their design, including restricted area signs.

Colours and Shapes: Restricted Area Signs typically use a combination of colours and shapes to convey their message:

• Colour: The primary colour is red, which signifies danger and restricted access.
• Shape: The shape is usually a circle, with a diagonal line that starts from the top left and goes to the bottom right. This diagonal line divides the circle into two halves - the top half is white or another contrasting colour, and the bottom half is red.

Restricted Area Signs are warning signs that certain places are off-limits to unauthorized people.

They're common in places where safety and security are essential. In Australia, these signs follow the AS 1319-1994 standard.

They are usually red circles with a diagonal line dividing the circle into contrasting colours, red on the bottom and white on top.
