Fold Up Sign - Men At Work with Text Variant Options - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

A portable warning sign designed to alert road users, pedestrians, and cyclists that maintenance, construction, or other work activities are taking place ahead. The sign typically features the standard triangular “Men At Work” symbol and allows for additional custom text variants, such as specifying the type of work (e.g., “Road Maintenance,” “Drain Cleaning,” or “Utility Works”), which provides more precise information about the hazard. The fold-up design ensures quick deployment, easy relocation, and compact storage.

The main reason to use this sign is safety. Work zones often involve moving machinery, uneven surfaces, or workers close to traffic, creating potential hazards. The combination of the recognisable “Men At Work” symbol and supplementary text helps drivers and pedestrians understand the nature of the work, prompting them to slow down, pay attention, or follow diversion instructions. This reduces the risk of accidents, protects the workforce, and ensures compliance with traffic management and health and safety regulations.

In terms of placement, the sign should be positioned well in advance of the work area to provide sufficient warning for approaching traffic. Text variants allow the sign to be customised for specific work activities, making it highly versatile across multiple sites, such as streets, highways, pedestrian areas, parks, or industrial locations. The fold-up design allows crews to move the sign easily as the work progresses or when the site changes.
