French OSHA “Notice Authorized Personnel Only” sign drawing of a hand

French "Notice Authorized Personnel Only" hand pictogram sign

The EOAV300 French "Avis Personnel autorisé seulement" sign reminds people that an access point, door, corridor, room or work area is reserved for authorized personnel. The hand drawing adds a simple visual cue, useful when the message must be understood quickly before entering or crossing a controlled point. This product page covers the French version with pictogram; for a sign without pictogram, see item EOAV301. It supports access management and workplace prevention without replacing internal procedures, supervision instructions, locks, barriers or physical controls required by the site.

Several materials, sizes and formats are available from the drop-down menu.

UV-protecting lamination, retro-reflective sheeting or photoluminescent finishing can also be requested depending on the need. Please contact customer service for sign formats other than those offered in the options above, as well as for English or bilingual signs. Please allow four (4) weeks to receive special orders. If you cannot find the sign you need, please contact our customer service team to obtain custom signage.

Applications for the EOAV300 controlled access sign

The EOAV300 sign can be placed at the entrance to a technical office, warehouse, mechanical room, maintenance room, production area, workshop, delivery area or sector where only certain people should circulate. It helps visitors, delivery personnel, contractors and employees recognize that authorization is required before proceeding.

Material choice for an authorized access sign

Choosing a sign depends on the right material, reading distance, work environment and required format. Self-adhesive vinyl is suited to clean, smooth and dry surfaces, especially indoors or in a protected location. Plastic can be used indoors or outdoors, but colours may fade faster if the sign is exposed to UV light. Aluminum is often recommended outdoors, in workshops or in areas where impact is possible. UV-protecting lamination may slow fading, without preventing it permanently.
