- As a complete biosecurity plan — signage is one component of a broader biosecurity program
- For laboratory biosafety levels (BSL) — this is designed for aquaculture farm operations
Laminate the printout
A sign that dissolves in rain is worse than no sign. Print on heavy stock and laminate, or use a waterproof sleeve.
Include multilingual text if needed
If farm workers speak multiple languages, add translated protocols in the Additional Protocols field.
Update when protocols change
Outdated signs cause confusion and non-compliance. Reprint whenever protocols are updated.

Aquaculture Biosecurity Signage
Visible biosecurity signage serves two critical functions: it informs visitors and staff of required protocols, and it demonstrates to auditors and regulators that biosecurity is actively managed. The OIE recommends that all aquaculture facilities post clear biosecurity protocols at every access point. Signs should be durable (laminated or weatherproof), written in all languages used by staff, and include a contact number for questions.
