Description
Use this No Running Sign at the approach to a defined area where running creates an identified site risk or breaches an established facility rule. The verified portrait artwork shows a black running-person pictogram crossed by a red prohibition ring and diagonal bar, with the black words NO RUNNING below. It has a white field and black border, with no pool-specific, school-specific or emergency-exit wording. Common locations include corridors, stair landings, pool approaches, warehouse pedestrian routes and shared-facility entries. Position the face where people can see the complete symbol and legend before entering the area, not after the decision point or behind an open door. Check sightlines from the normal approach, avoid mounting it where other notices obscure the pictogram, and keep it separate from green exit or evacuation symbols. The portrait catalogue sizes are 225 × 300 mm, 300 × 450 mm and 450 × 600 mm. Polypropylene is preselected as the practical rigid option. Self-adhesive vinyl suits a prepared smooth surface, 5 mm Corflute suits temporary identification, and Colorbond steel provides a stronger mechanically fixed face. Optional holes apply only to rigid materials; lamination and reflective film appear only with a compatible vinyl selection. A No Running sign communicates a behaviour rule but does not remove slip, collision, crowding, lighting or route-design hazards. Safe Work Australia places warning signs among administrative controls, which rely on people seeing and following them. Confirm the rule, sign format, location, supervision, housekeeping, barriers and any other controls through the site risk process. The printed face is not product certification or proof that a WHS duty has been discharged.
This No Running face communicates a site behaviour restriction. It is not an emergency-exit symbol, does not remove the underlying hazard and does not by itself demonstrate compliance with a WHS duty. Confirm the applicable sign format, placement and risk controls for the site.

Frequently asked
What is shown on this No Running sign?
The verified portrait artwork has a black running-person pictogram inside a red prohibition ring and diagonal bar, with the black words NO RUNNING below. It has a white field, black border and no pool-specific, school-specific or emergency-exit wording.
Where is a No Running sign commonly used?
Use it at the approach to a defined area where the site rule prohibits running, such as a corridor, stair landing, pool approach, warehouse pedestrian route or shared facility entry. Choose the location from the actual movement pattern and risk assessment, and position the face where people can read it before entering the controlled area.
Is this the same as an emergency-exit running-man sign?
No. This is a prohibition sign: the red ring and diagonal bar mean running is not permitted. A green emergency-exit running-man symbol directs people along an escape route. Do not substitute this No Running face for an exit, evacuation or directional sign.
Does installing the sign make a walkway or pool area safe?
No. A sign communicates a rule but does not remove slippery surfaces, blind corners, crowding, poor lighting or other hazards. Safe Work Australia treats warning signs as administrative controls that rely on behaviour. Use the sign with the supervision, housekeeping, barriers, route design and other controls identified for the site.
Which material, size and mounting option should I choose?
Polypropylene is the default rigid option. Self-adhesive vinyl suits a clean smooth surface, 5 mm Corflute suits temporary identification, and Colorbond steel provides a stronger mechanically fixed face. The portrait sizes are 225 × 300 mm, 300 × 450 mm and 450 × 600 mm. Check the approach distance and mounting surface; optional holes apply only to rigid materials.
What volume discounts apply?
Automatic volume pricing is 5–9 signs: 8% off, 10–24 signs: 15% off, 25–49 signs: 24% off, 50–99 signs: 32% off, 100+ signs: 40% off. The configurator is the source of truth and updates the unit price as quantity changes.
