Warning - Welding in Progress - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Used to alert people to the presence of active welding operations and the potential hazards associated with them. Welding can produce intense light, sparks, heat, and fumes that pose serious risks to anyone nearby without proper protection. The sign warns individuals to stay clear or take appropriate safety precautions before entering the area.

This sign is essential in workshops, fabrication areas, shipyards, construction sites, and manufacturing plants, particularly where welding is performed in open or shared spaces. It should be placed at entry points, doorways, or barriers around the welding zone to ensure visibility to anyone approaching.

The presence of the sign helps prevent accidental exposure to harmful ultraviolet (UV) light from arc welding, which can cause eye damage (arc eye) or skin burns. It also warns against the risk of fire from stray sparks or contact with flammable materials.

Using a Warning – Welding in Progress sign supports workplace safety by prompting the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and encouraging safe distancing. It helps control access to hazardous zones and reinforces safe working practices during welding tasks.
