No Food or Drink Signs

No Food and Drink Signs: Buying Guide

When eating and drinking in the workplace or in particular areas of your premises is not permitted, the easiest way to make sure everyone knows is by having the right signage in place. These signs will usually have an image of the prohibited activity in a circle with a line through, so even if the person looking at the sign does not have English as their first language, they can be in no doubt as to the meaning.

Our ‘no drink or food’ signs are available as a single sign or in economical packs of six – perfect for larger workplaces. If you want to prohibit eating or drinking in a large area, for example in a warehouse or shopping centre, the safety signs will need to be placed in many different places. You will therefore need to assess how many signs you need to effectively get the message across.

The no food and drink pictogram is also used on our ‘No food waste’ signage. These signs should be positioned near bins so staff and visitors are aware that their food waste needs to be placed into a different bin, ideally a recycling bin.

Use recycling signs to label bins that can be used for food waste and any associated packaging.

In some areas, a photoluminescent No Food or Drink prohibition sign might be more appropriate. This sign will glow in the dark for over six hours once activated by a good light source so that even if there is no daylight or artificial light at the time, people can still read it. These signs are ideal for positioning in areas within your site where, for example, staff like to go off to a darkened area in order to have a quiet lunch or where it would be dangerous for them to consume food or drink, such as outside a hazardous storage area. A strategically placed sign will remind them that they are not supposed to consume food or drink there.

In some areas it may be wise to have a non-slip floor sign that conveys the same message. Floor signs are hard to miss and this particular one features the same easily recognised food and drink pictogram. Staff and visitors will not be able to avoid seeing this floor sign, especially if they have to walk over it.

Some food and drink signs are needed in areas where there are biological hazards, and for obvious reasons, no food or drink should be consumed in the area.

Also, check out our whole range of Prohibition Signs for other areas in the workplace.

While many of our sign range are available with self-adhesive backing, you may wish to add sign fixings to your order for any that don't, or if you opt to use an alternative method to affix your new signs. If you include sign fixings on your order, you will be able to setup your new 'no food or drink' signs as quickly as possible.
