Do Not Climb On Racking - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Used to warn individuals against climbing on storage racks or shelving units. This is important because climbing on racking can be extremely dangerous—racks are not designed to support the weight of people, and doing so increases the risk of falls, injuries, or even structural collapse. The sign helps prevent accidents by clearly communicating this safety rule.

Such signs are commonly found in warehouses, distribution centers, retail stockrooms, and industrial environments where large shelving units or pallet racks are used to store goods. Employees or visitors might be tempted to climb the racks to reach items, but the sign serves as a reminder that doing so is unsafe and prohibited.

In addition to protecting individuals from harm, the sign also helps maintain the integrity of the storage system. Climbing on racking can damage the structure, leading to instability and potential collapse, which could result in costly damage to stored items and disruption of operations.

Finally, the sign supports workplace safety regulations and company policies by clearly marking hazardous behaviours and promoting safe practices. It helps create a safer work environment by reducing the likelihood of accidents and encouraging proper use of equipment such as ladders or forklifts when accessing high shelves.
