French OSHA “Warning No Smoking” sign in various sizes, materials, languages & optional features

French "Warning No Smoking" sign

The EOS500 French "Avertissement Interdiction de fumer" sign clearly reminds users of a no-smoking instruction at an entrance, in a corridor, room, workshop, warehouse, common area or work zone. It suits locations where smoking must be visibly prohibited before access or near a controlled sector. Its warning message helps employees, visitors, delivery personnel, contractors and users quickly understand that tobacco is not allowed in the area. This sign supports prevention and internal rule enforcement without replacing facility policies, applicable regulations, supervision, training or other required controls.

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 EOS500 smoke-free zone sign

The EOS500 sign can be installed at the entrance to a building, workshop, warehouse, room, corridor, technical room, common area or production zone. It helps remind users of the instruction before they enter the sector, and can also be used near a counter, door or frequent passage point.

Material choice for a no-smoking 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, at entrances, in workshops, docks and areas where impact is possible. UV-protecting lamination may slow fading, without preventing it permanently.
