Using Signs to Deter
| Post and maintain “No Trespassing” signs along farm roads and property lines. Too often, signs are posted and forgotten, so they deteriorate, fall down, or get knocked down by vandals. As you do routine maintenance, remember to check your signs and replace when needed. Although signs will not keep out criminals, they will deter those who are simply unaware that they have entered private property. However, signs announcing the presence of alarms, detectors, or surveillance devices may be helpful in deterring crime. Signs warning of hazards may be important in limiting your liability. “Do Not Enter” signs for hazardous materials and hazardous areas such as manure pits, animal areas, hazardous materials storage, should be posted in languages understood by all employees and visitors, or as pictograms. |
