Danger Overhead Live Wires Signs | Electrical Signs
Product Summary
Enhance the safety and compliance of your construction site, workplace, or industrial facility with our Danger Overhead Live Wires Signs. Designed to alert staff, visitors, and contractors to the presence of high-voltage overhead cables, these signs play a critical role in accident prevention and workplace safety. Compliant with The Health & Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 and conforming to BS 5499 standards, these signs are an essential component of any electrical hazard risk management strategy.
As a specific type of danger sign, this product helps communicate the presence of potentially lethal electricity above head height. It is especially useful in environments where accidental contact with live wires could occur, such as scaffolding zones, crane operations, and elevated work platforms. Whether you're managing a high-risk area with a high voltage sign or addressing other hazards like a toxic hazard sign or biohazard warning, our signage solutions are designed to integrate seamlessly into your overall safety plan.
Material & Print Options
Our Danger Overhead Live Wires Signs are available in two high-quality material options to suit a range of environments and installation preferences:
- Adhesive Vinyl: Ideal for smooth, clean surfaces such as walls, doors, or equipment. This self-adhesive backing allows for quick and easy application without the need for additional fixings.
- 3mm Rigid PVC: A durable, weather-resistant option suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Perfect for mounting on fences, posts, or building exteriors where additional rigidity is required.
Both material options feature bold black text on a bright yellow background with the universally recognized electrical hazard symbol, ensuring maximum visibility and compliance.
