Works Access - Class RA1 - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

The "Works Access" sign is used to clearly indicate designated entry and exit points for vehicles and personnel involved in construction, maintenance, or other work-related activities on or near a roadway. This sign helps direct workers, delivery trucks, and contractors to the correct access routes, minimising confusion and improving site organisation.

One key reason to use the Works Access sign is to enhance safety. By clearly marking where work vehicles should enter and leave, it reduces the chances of unexpected vehicle movements in busy or public areas, protecting both workers and the general public. It also helps prevent accidents caused by vehicles entering unauthorised or unsafe areas.

The sign also supports efficient site management by streamlining traffic flow related to the work zone. Properly directing work-related vehicles helps avoid congestion, delays, and disruption to regular traffic, making operations smoother and more predictable for everyone involved.

Finally, using the Works Access sign ensures compliance with health and safety regulations. Authorities often require clear signage to mark construction or maintenance zones, including access points. Displaying this sign demonstrates responsible site management and commitment to maintaining a safe, well-organised working environment.

Class RA1: Manufactured from 3mm aluminium composite with an engineering grade retroreflective sheeting to ensure visibility during day and night. This reflective layer helps headlights bounce light back to drivers, making the sign readable in low-light conditions and offers approximately a 7 years lifespan. Aluminium composite is a lightweight, durable material which holds no scrappage value - reducing the potential for theft. It is weather and rust resistant - overall, RA1 signs are designed to be durable, weatherproof, and highly visible to ensure the safety of road users around temporary worksites.
