Danger - Buried Cable - Underground Tape - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Specifically designed to warn workers and contractors of buried cables below the ground. Its main purpose is to prevent accidental damage during excavation or construction, which could lead to injury, equipment damage, or service disruption. The tape typically features bold red lettering on a bright background, making it highly visible and instantly recognisable as a warning of electrical or communication hazards below.

The tape is installed directly above buried cables at a recommended depth, usually 12–18 inches below the surface. This ensures that anyone digging in the area will encounter the tape before reaching the cable, providing an early alert to proceed with caution. This early warning helps protect both personnel and infrastructure from accidental strikes during excavation, reducing the risk of electrocution, system failure, or costly repairs.

Danger – Buried Cable – Underground Tape is also used for utility identification and site safety management. By marking the exact location of underground cables, it assists construction crews, landscapers, and maintenance personnel in safely navigating excavation projects. The tape also facilitates proper documentation of buried utilities, ensuring compliance with safety regulations and reducing the risk of accidental interference with essential services.
