Manned Security Warning Sign – Dedicated Personnel Protection | A5, A4, A3 | Easi-Signs

Manned Security Sign – Dedicated Personnel Protection and Visible Deterrence

The Manned Security Sign provides a direct and unambiguous warning that the premises are protected by human staff, signifying a high level of dedicated personnel protection. This sign is essential for sites, buildings, and controlled access points where the presence of security personnel is the primary deterrent and response mechanism. It features the universally recognised yellow warning triangle, enclosing a clear pictogram of a uniformed security guard. The explicit text, “Manned security,” serves as a clear security warning staff notification, assuring all parties that monitoring and intervention are actively carried out by human guards.

The Assurance of a Human Surveillance Notice

Unlike electronic surveillance, the presence of security warning staff implies immediate, physical intervention capability, which is a stronger deterrent against serious criminal acts. The manned security sign ensures this protective measure is clearly communicated. This human surveillance notice is critical for achieving several security and legal objectives:

• Maximum Deterrence: It strongly discourages criminal activity by communicating the certainty of confrontation with a guard, which is a stronger deterrent than passive monitoring alone.
• Legal Defence: By clearly marking the zone as being under manned security sign protection, the property owner strengthens claims against trespassers, demonstrating proactive intent to manage security risks with dedicated personnel protection.
• Procedural Compliance: It alerts authorised personnel that they are within a strictly controlled area and must fully comply with identification, access control, and search procedures.
• Asset Protection: The sign’s clear communication of human surveillance notice ensures better safety for high-value stock, critical infrastructure, and sensitive data within the guarded perimeter.

Implementing this sign is vital for reinforcing the effectiveness of human security teams and providing immediate notice of active protection.

Material and Sizing for Dedicated Personnel Protection

For a security deterrent to be effective, it must be highly visible in all conditions and durable enough to withstand external exposure. Our manned security sign is available in three sizes: A5, A4, and A3. The large A3 format is highly recommended for building entrances, security gates, and property perimeters, where the dedicated personnel protection warning needs to be legible from a distance to maximise the deterrent effect.

Construction Built for Active Security Sites:

Easi-Signs offers two premium material options, designed to withstand the operational demands of a security warning staff area:

1. Self-Adhesive Vinyl: Suitable for internal doors, control rooms, or smooth, sheltered surfaces. It provides a quick and cost-effective application for internal security zoning.
2. Rigid PVC Plastic (3mm): The optimal choice for external perimeter security. This material is highly resistant to impact, harsh weather, UV degradation, and vandalism attempts, ensuring the manned security sign remains vibrant and effective year after year. It is the preferred material for secure, long-term fixing to gates, guard booths, or external walls, securing the long-term effectiveness of the human surveillance notice.

Strategic Placement of Human Surveillance Notice

The manned security sign should be placed at the primary point of access (e.g., reception, vehicle gate), adjacent to the guard’s post, and at any secondary access points. By deploying this human surveillance notice you effectively communicate the live, human element of your security response, enhancing the overall deterrence capability and reinforcing all protective measures.
