Description
This sign marks the threshold where all ignition sources must cease—cigarettes, lighters, soldering irons, hot-work tools. Essential at fuel depots, paint booths, chemical-handling rooms, and any space where flammable vapours or dust demand zero active ignition before entry. Use it in tandem with perimeter No Smoking signage to enforce a complete fire-prevention zone. Vinyl, polypropylene, and Colorbond options suit indoor, damp, and outdoor installations. Three sizes—180×250 mm, 300×450 mm, 450×600 mm—let you match visibility distance and wall space. Lamination and hole-drilling are standard add-ons for trade accounts. Platinum Signs delivers Australia-wide with bulk discounts and custom finishing.
Final sign type, wording, size, placement and material depend on the site risk, project specification and applicable jurisdiction. Confirm the requirement with the relevant WHS adviser or regulator.

Frequently asked
What counts as an ignition source under this sign?
Any active or potential flame or spark: lit cigarettes, lighters, matches, soldering irons, grinders, welding torches, and hot work equipment. All must be extinguished or removed before crossing the threshold.
Should I use this with a No Smoking sign as well?
Yes — this sign is most effective paired with a No Smoking sign at the perimeter. Together they create a complete fire-control message: no smoking outside, no ignition at all inside.
Which size is best for a paint-booth entrance?
300×450 mm or 450×600 mm works well for personnel approaching from a distance; 180×250 mm suits tight doorways or secondary access points.
Is this sign compliant with Australian fire codes?
It aligns with fire-safety best practice and state workplace health and safety requirements for hazardous-atmosphere zones. Check your local fire authority for specific mandatory signage.
Can I order custom text or graphics?
Yes — contact our trade team with your site-specific requirements. We can modify layout, add facility names, or adjust messaging to suit your safety protocols.
