Caution - Forklift Trucks Have Priority of Way in this Area - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Inform pedestrians and other vehicle operators that forklifts operating in the vicinity have the right of way. This warning helps to prevent collisions by making everyone aware that forklifts may be moving through the area and should be given priority.

The main purpose of the sign is to enhance safety by managing traffic flow and reducing accidents between forklifts and pedestrians or other vehicles. Forklifts are heavy, often have limited visibility, and require space to maneuver safely, so alerting others to their priority helps minimise risky interactions.

This type of signage is commonly required in warehouses, loading docks, manufacturing plants, and other industrial environments where forklifts are frequently used. It supports compliance with workplace safety standards and promotes awareness among all site users.

The sign should be placed at entrances to forklift zones, pedestrian crossings, and areas where forklift traffic is heavy, ensuring it is clearly visible to everyone approaching the area. Maintaining the sign’s visibility and condition is important to keep safety messages effective over time.
