Site Safety - H&S Act - Construction Work - Helmets - Footwear - Unauthorised Entry Forbidden - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Communicate multiple critical safety requirements at the entrance to a construction site. It highlights that the site is governed by health and safety legislation, identifies mandatory personal protective equipment (helmets and safety footwear), and strictly prohibits unauthorized access. This type of sign ensures that anyone entering the site is immediately aware of the legal framework, the risks present, and the safety precautions required.

The sign should be placed at all primary entrances to the construction site, including main gates, vehicle entry points, and pedestrian access routes. It may also be positioned along perimeter fencing or at secondary entry points where visitors or subcontractors might attempt to enter, ensuring that the safety message is clear before anyone steps into hazardous areas.

The main reason for using this sign is to prevent accidents and maintain legal compliance. By clearly stating the requirements for protective equipment and restricting access to authorized personnel only, the sign reduces the risk of injuries from falling objects, slips, trips, or other construction hazards. It also reinforces the site operator’s commitment to health and safety regulations and demonstrates due diligence in controlling access and protecting workers and visitors.

For maximum effectiveness, the sign should be visible to everyone approaching the site, positioned at eye level, and placed in a location where it cannot be missed. By marking the start of the controlled site area and clearly communicating expectations, it ensures that all personnel understand their responsibilities and that safety protocols are followed from the moment they arrive.
