French OSHA “Notice Authorized Personnel Only” sign in various sizes, materials, languages & optional features

French "Notice Authorized Personnel Only" sign without pictogram

The EOAV301 French "Avis Personnel autorisé seulement" sign reminds people that an access point, door, corridor, room or work area is reserved for authorized personnel. This version without pictogram relies on a simple and direct text message, useful when a business wants sober, readable and consistent signage. For a sign with a hand pictogram, see item EOAV300. 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.

Notice signage for access reserved to authorized personnel

Applications for the EOAV301 controlled access sign

The EOAV301 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 also suits a controlled access area where visitors, delivery personnel, contractors and employees must 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.
