What does this sign mean?
A sign that politely tells customers that the area behind this door is a working space for staff, without the stern prohibition tone of the standard No Entry sign. It suits doors that customers pass every day in shops and restaurants.
Where does it go and when is it required?
Fixed on the doors of stockrooms, prep rooms, kitchens, admin offices and staff rest rooms in shops, restaurants, cafés and pharmacies, and on side doors separating the customer area from the back of house. It protects stock and equipment and stops people wandering in while looking for the restroom.
- Fix it on the door leaf itself at eye level (1.5–1.7 m), not on the adjacent wall.
- A5 is enough for narrow internal doors; use A4 on stockroom and kitchen doors.
- Keep Arabic above English, and use the standard No Entry sign instead on electrical rooms and hazard areas that Civil Defense inspects.
This sign is also known as: staff only sign, staff only door sign printable pdf, employees only sign, staff only sign Arabic English. Informational sign not governed by a mandatory standard; designed in one consistent style for everyday use. Our own drawing, not the registered symbol from the standard.
