Lab Coats Must Not Be Worn In This Area Sign

Lab Coat Must Not Be Worn In This Area Sign

The Lab Coats Must Not Be Worn In This Area Sign clearly identifies locations where laboratory coats must be removed before entering.

Featuring a recognisable prohibition symbol and clear wording, this sign is useful for laboratories, research facilities and other controlled workplaces where lab coats are restricted to designated areas.

Where This Sign Is Commonly Used

• Laboratories
• Research facilities
• Testing facilities
• Universities and educational laboratories
• Healthcare and medical facilities
• Food testing and processing facilities
• Clean or controlled areas
• Staff rooms and break areas
• Offices adjacent to laboratories
• Laboratory exit and transition areas

Clearly Separate Lab Coat and Non-Lab Coat Areas

Laboratories and controlled workplaces may have designated areas where protective clothing is worn and separate areas where that clothing must be removed.

Displaying this sign at the transition between these areas gives staff, students, contractors and visitors a clear visual reminder to remove their lab coat before proceeding.

This can be particularly useful at entrances to offices, staff rooms, eating areas and other spaces adjoining laboratory work areas.

Materials & Mounting Options

Choose from a range of materials to suit the intended installation, including laminated adhesive vinyl and rigid sign options.

Adhesive signs are suitable for clean, smooth surfaces such as doors and walls, while rigid signs can be installed using appropriate fixings.

Choosing Your Sign Size

Smaller signs are well suited to doors and entrances where people encounter the instruction at close range.

Larger sizes can be selected where the sign needs to be visible from further away or in larger laboratory and workplace environments.

Refer to our viewing-distance guide below for help choosing an appropriate size.

Customisation Options

Need different wording for your laboratory or facility?

We can customise the wording, size or layout to suit your workplace requirements. A design fee may apply for custom artwork or wording.

Workplace Use Note

This sign communicates that laboratory coats must not be worn within the designated area.

Requirements for protective clothing and contamination-control procedures vary between workplaces, so the sign should be used alongside your organisation’s own laboratory procedures, PPE requirements and workplace policies where applicable.
