The wording “Forklift Charging Area” clearly identifies the purpose of the space, while “Warning” signals potential danger. Together, they remind personnel to exercise caution, wear appropriate PPE if required, and follow established safety procedures when near the charging equipment.

Overall, using this sign is crucial for maintaining workplace safety, preventing accidents related to electrical hazards, battery handling, and fire, and ensuring compliance with occupational health and safety standards in industrial environments.
