Price from $3.95 each | Do Not Stand on Seats – Passenger Ferry Safety Sticker
Improve passenger safety and help discourage passengers from standing on seats with Westside Graphics Do Not Stand on Seats ferry safety stickers. Designed for commercial passenger ferries, public transport vessels and marine seating areas, these professional warning decals provide a clear visual instruction to help reduce unsafe climbing behaviour and the risk of falls.
Featuring bold DO NOT STAND ON SEATS lettering, a red prohibition symbol and a pictogram depicting a person standing on a seat, each sticker is manufactured using self-adhesive vinyl with a protective UV laminate overlay.
Available in three sizes and discounted bulk packs for individual vessels, fleet maintenance and large-scale passenger seating installations.
AMSA and NSCV Part C1 – Passenger Ferry Safety Requirements
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) National Standard for Commercial Vessels (NSCV), Part C, Section 1, Edition 2.0, includes specific requirements addressing passengers standing on seating within designated no-climb zones on public transport vessels.
Clause 6.5 – No Climb Zone for Public Transport Vessels addresses the risk of passengers climbing on seating and falling overboard.
Under Table 30, where seating that could be used as a foothold is positioned within a designated no-climb zone, three alternative safety controls are specified:
No seating within the designated no-climb zone.
Increased handrail, bulwark or guardrail height in accordance with Annex C.
Warning signage stating “do not stand on seats”, meeting the applicable rectangular size requirements of Table B1.
Where the signage option is selected, the standard requires a warning on each affected seat. For seating accommodating multiple passengers, the warning must be clearly legible from all positions from which a passenger could climb.
The designated no-climb zone extends 450 mm inboard from the inner edge of the gunwale, guardrail or bulwark and vertically to the height of that protective structure above the deck.
These provisions relate specifically to applicable passenger-accessible open-deck arrangements. They do not mean that every seat on every commercial vessel must carry this warning.
Available Sticker Sizes and Letter Heights
150 × 80 mm – 15 mm lettering
A compact warning decal for smaller seating panels, general passenger safety marking and applications where the operator determines that the size is appropriate.
220 × 90 mm – 18 mm lettering
A medium-size passenger seat warning sticker offering increased visibility for ferry seating areas and general marine safety applications.
300 × 150 mm – 25 mm lettering
Our largest standard version, providing prominent warning text and a high-contrast prohibition pictogram. Suitable for larger seat backs, passenger seating panels and fleet installations requiring the 300 × 150 mm format.
Important dimensional information: NSCV Part C1 Table B1 specifies minimum rectangular dimensions of 150 × 80 mm for vessels under 12 metres and 300 × 150 mm for vessels from 12 metres to under 24 metres. The 300 × 150 mm version matches the latter dimensional minimum, while the 150 × 80 mm version matches the former.
The 220 × 90 mm version is offered as an additional general-purpose warning size. Meeting a minimum dimension does not independently establish full regulatory compliance. Operators must confirm all applicable signage, visibility, design and installation requirements for their vessel.

Product features include:
Clear red, black and white passenger safety warning.
