Unauthorised personnel must not service or adjust the machinery - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Protect employees and visitors by clearly indicating that only trained and authorised personnel are allowed to operate, service, or adjust machinery. Machinery can pose serious risks such as electrical hazards, moving parts, or mechanical malfunctions, and restricting access helps prevent accidents, injuries, or equipment damage.

These signs are particularly important in manufacturing plants, factories, workshops, laboratories, and any facility where machinery or heavy equipment is in use. By placing the sign directly on or near the machinery, employers ensure that everyone in the area is aware of the restriction before attempting to interact with the equipment.

In addition to safety, the sign also supports compliance with health and safety regulations. Workplaces are legally obligated to minimise risks to employees and visitors. Restricting machinery access to authorised personnel helps enforce safety protocols, reduce liability, and ensure that maintenance and adjustments are performed correctly and safely.

For maximum effectiveness, the sign should be prominently displayed on the machinery itself or at nearby entry points where access is possible. Clear, bold wording ensures that all personnel understand the restriction, promoting a safer working environment and reducing the likelihood of accidents or equipment misuse.
