Caution - Men At Work - Self Standing Floor Sign - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Alert people that maintenance, construction, or repair activities are in progress in the area. Its purpose is to prevent accidents by making pedestrians, customers, or employees aware of the presence of workers and potential hazards such as tools, equipment, or obstructed pathways. Because it is self-standing, the sign can be placed directly where needed without requiring installation, and it can be moved easily as work progresses.

The main reason to use this type of sign is to ensure safety and regulatory compliance. Many workplaces and public areas are required by law or safety policy to clearly mark active work zones to protect both workers and passersby. Displaying a “Men at Work” sign helps to reduce the risk of collisions, trips, and other incidents by prompting people to slow down, take extra care, or avoid the area altogether.

These signs are commonly found in environments such as office buildings, shopping centers, warehouses, industrial facilities, construction sites, and outdoor public areas. They are particularly useful for temporary work activities like electrical repairs, plumbing, painting, or cleaning where hazards may not be immediately visible to others.

For maximum effectiveness, the sign should be placed in a highly visible position near the work area, ideally at all possible entry points. If the work site is large or spans multiple locations, additional signs should be used to ensure full coverage. Once the work is completed and the area is safe, the sign should be removed promptly to prevent confusion or complacency around future safety warnings.
