Caution - Limited Overhead Height - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Used in areas where there is a low ceiling, overhang, or obstruction that could pose a head injury risk. It serves as a warning to anyone approaching the space to remain alert and take care, particularly when passing through with equipment or while standing upright.

This sign is especially important in environments such as basements, underground car parks, storage areas, service corridors, construction sites, and loading docks, anywhere overhead clearance is lower than standard and could catch someone unaware.

It is most effective when installed at eye level before the restricted height area begins, giving people time to react and adjust their path, posture, or equipment. In workplaces, it can also serve as a reminder for staff to use protective headgear where necessary.

Using a Caution – Limited Overhead Height sign helps prevent head injuries, equipment damage, and unnecessary accidents. It’s a simple but vital tool in maintaining awareness and ensuring safe movement through confined or restricted vertical spaces.
