Alert personnel and visitors that machinery in the area can operate automatically or from a distance without any prior indication. This type of machinery can start, move, or perform tasks unexpectedly, creating significant hazards such as crushing, entanglement, or collisions. The sign provides a clear warning to stay alert, maintain a safe distance, and follow proper safety procedures when near the equipment.

This sign should be placed in industrial facilities, warehouses, manufacturing plants, automated production lines, construction sites, or any area with remotely operated equipment such as robotic arms, automated conveyors, or machinery in hazardous zones. It is most effective when positioned at entrances to the area, near machinery perimeters, and around control zones so that anyone entering the space is aware of the potential for sudden movement before coming into contact with the equipment.

The wording “May Move Without Warning” emphasizes the unpredictability of the machinery, while “Remotely Operated Machinery” specifies the source of the hazard. Together, these phrases ensure that workers, contractors, and visitors understand both the type of equipment and the specific risk, encouraging vigilance and safe behaviour.

Overall, using this sign is essential for preventing workplace injuries, maintaining safety in automated environments, and ensuring compliance with occupational health and safety regulations.
