Danger - Open Manhole - ISO 7010: W001 - General Warning Safety Signs

Warn workers, pedestrians, and visitors of the presence of an uncovered or partially open manhole. Its primary purpose is to prevent accidents, such as falls, trips, or injuries, by clearly indicating a serious hazard in the area.

This sign is typically placed around the perimeter of the open manhole, on temporary barriers, or at a safe distance leading up to it. Positioning it where people are likely to approach ensures that anyone nearby is immediately aware of the danger and can take precautions to avoid it.

It is particularly important in construction sites, utility works, road maintenance, or any area where manhole covers have been removed for inspection, repair, or cleaning. By alerting people to the hazard, the sign reduces the risk of serious injury or liability.

Using this sign in combination with physical barriers, cones, or tape enhances safety by clearly defining a restricted area. Proper placement ensures that both workers and the public are aware of the danger and are guided safely around it.
