Warning - Overhead Crane - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

This Warning – Overhead Crane sign is used to alert personnel and visitors that an overhead crane is in operation in the area. Its primary purpose is to warn people of potential hazards from moving loads, crane hooks, or suspended equipment, helping to prevent accidents, injuries, or property damage.

This sign is typically placed at the entrances to workshops, warehouses, or construction zones where the crane operates, as well as in areas directly underneath the crane’s path. Positioning it in clear, visible locations ensures that anyone entering the area is immediately aware of the overhead hazard and can take appropriate precautions.

It is particularly important in environments such as industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, and construction sites where cranes lift and move heavy loads. By providing a visible warning, the sign encourages personnel to remain alert, stay clear of the crane’s operating zone, and follow safety procedures.

Using this sign in combination with designated exclusion zones, floor markings, and PPE requirements enhances overall safety. Proper placement ensures workers and visitors are protected from falling objects and can navigate the area safely while crane operations are ongoing.
