Why “No Trespassing” & “Keep Out” Signage Matters
Clear signage is one of the simplest and most effective deterrents against unauthorised entry. It’s also an important part of your legal and safety responsibilities.
Our signs help you:
- Deter intruders, thieves and vandals: Visible warnings reduce opportunistic entry before it happens.
- Support liability protection: Signage helps you show that you’ve taken “all reasonably practicable steps” to warn the public about restricted or hazardous areas — a key WorkSafe NZ expectation.
- Comply with privacy and safety regulations: For sites under CCTV or hazardous storage, “No Trespassing” signage supports your duty to inform and restrict access.
- Protect staff and property: Especially useful in rural or industrial environments where safety hazards exist beyond authorised zones.
WorkSafe NZ notes that restricted zones and hazard areas must have clear, visible signs identifying dangers and prohibitions before entry.

Compliance & Best Practice in New Zealand
Under New Zealand law, property owners and employers have a duty to ensure people are aware of restricted or hazardous areas. Proper signage supports:
- Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 (HSWA): Duty to warn of risks and limit unauthorised access.
→ Legislation NZ – HSWA 2015 - Trespass Act 1980: Property owners can legally prohibit access and take action if warnings (including signage) are ignored.
→ Legislation NZ – Trespass Act 1980 - WorkSafe NZ Hazard Signage Guidelines: Signs must be clear, legible from at least 10 metres, and placed before hazard zones.
→ WorkSafe NZ – Hazardous Substances Signs
Correctly displayed “No Trespassing” signage helps demonstrate due diligence and can reduce liability if incidents occur.
