Product Summary

Do Not Operate Sign. Designed to prevent unauthorized use of machinery and equipment, this essential
prohibition sign helps enforce company safety protocols and reduce the risk of accidents. Whether you're managing a construction site, warehouse, or factory floor, this sign communicates a clear and unmistakable message—do not operate—using bold text and universally recognized graphics.

no entry signs,
no admittance signs, and
no smoking signs. Use this sign to clearly indicate operational restrictions and promote a culture of safety across your workplace.
Material & Print Options
Our
Do Not Operate Signs are available in two durable material options to suit different installation environments:
- Adhesive Vinyl – Ideal for indoor use or smooth surfaces. Easy to apply and highly adhesive for quick installation on machinery, walls, or panels.
- 3mm Rigid PVC – A robust solution for both indoor and sheltered outdoor environments. Resistant to wear and tear, perfect for long-term use.
Both options feature high-contrast printing for maximum legibility, even in low-light or high-traffic areas. The signs are printed using fade-resistant inks to ensure your safety message remains visible over time.
Installation Info
Installing your
Do Not Operate Sign is straightforward and adaptable to various surfaces and environments. Please note that
fixings are not included, giving you the flexibility to choose the most suitable mounting method for your location—whether adhesive, screws, or brackets.
For adhesive vinyl, simply peel and stick directly onto clean, dry surfaces. For rigid PVC, we recommend using screws or industrial-grade adhesive for secure placement.
