Danger - People Working Below - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Used to alert personnel, visitors, and vehicle operators that work is being conducted at a lower level or underneath an elevated area. The sign communicates the risk of dropping tools, materials, or debris from above and emphasizes the need for caution to prevent injury to people working below. It ensures that both overhead workers and those nearby are aware of the hazard and take appropriate safety measures.

This sign should be placed in construction sites, maintenance zones, industrial facilities, warehouses, scaffolding areas, elevated platforms, bridges, and any site where work is occurring at a lower level beneath active operations. Ideal locations include entrances to the work area, pedestrian pathways, areas under scaffolding or cranes, and around elevated work zones. Proper placement ensures that workers and visitors are warned of potential hazards from above before entering the area.

The wording “People Working Below” specifies the location of personnel in relation to potential hazards, while “Danger” highlights the seriousness of the risk. Together, they communicate that extra vigilance is required, and appropriate safety measures—such as securing tools, using barriers, or wearing protective equipment—should be followed.

Overall, using this sign is essential for preventing injuries from falling objects, maintaining compliance with health and safety regulations, and fostering a culture of awareness and caution in environments where work occurs at different levels. It ensures the safety of both overhead and below-ground personnel.
