Danger - Lift Machine - Access Forbidden Unauthorised Persons - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Used to restrict entry to areas containing lifting machinery, which can be hazardous due to moving parts, electrical components, and heavy equipment. This sign clearly communicates that only authorised and trained personnel are allowed to enter, helping to prevent accidents or injuries caused by unqualified individuals accessing the space.

The primary purpose of the sign is to protect people from serious harm. Lift machine rooms often contain high-voltage electrical systems, mechanical parts like counterweights and pulleys, and other risks that can cause severe injury or even death if handled improperly. Restricting access helps ensure that only those with proper training and safety knowledge are exposed to these dangers.

Displaying this sign is also an important legal and regulatory requirement in many countries. Safety standards and building codes typically mandate clear warnings and controlled access to machinery rooms to prevent unauthorised entry. Proper signage supports compliance with these regulations and can reduce liability in case of accidents.

The sign should be placed at all entrances to the lift machine room or any other access points. It should be clearly visible and durable, ensuring it remains legible over time. Often, it is combined with physical barriers like locked doors or keycard access systems to reinforce the restriction and enhance overall safety.
