Full Length Vehicle Hazard Panel - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

This reflective chevron vehicle panel is used primarily on work vehicles operating on or near public roads. Chapter 8 sets out safety standards for roadworks and highway maintenance, aiming to protect workers and alert road users. The distinctive red and yellow chevron pattern, combined with highly reflective materials, makes these panels extremely visible during both day and night, helping to prevent accidents by clearly signaling the presence of slow-moving or stationary vehicles.

Typically mounted on the rear of highway maintenance vehicles, road construction trucks, utility vehicles, and any other vehicles that may pose a hazard on the road. They serve as a warning to approaching drivers to slow down and maintain a safe distance. The reflective quality is crucial for visibility in low light, fog, rain, or darkness, ensuring that vehicles working on or near the road are easily seen from a distance.

Using Chapter 8 chevron panels is often a legal requirement for vehicles involved in roadworks or maintenance to meet health and safety regulations. The bright chevron design is internationally recognised as a high-visibility safety feature, helping reduce collisions and protecting both the workforce and other road users. The panels are designed to withstand harsh weather and road conditions, maintaining their reflective effectiveness over time.

In summary, this panel is a vital safety tool used on work vehicles involved in road operations. Their highly visible design alerts other drivers to the vehicle’s presence, ensuring safer road environments and regulatory compliance.
