Warning - Men Working Overhead - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Alert people that work is being carried out above ground level, such as on scaffolding, ladders, or elevated platforms. Its primary purpose is to warn pedestrians, workers, and visitors of potential hazards from falling objects, tools, or debris, helping to prevent injuries and maintain a safe environment below the work area.

This sign is typically placed at the perimeter of the work zone, entrances to areas directly beneath the overhead activity, or along pathways where people are likely to pass. Placing it in highly visible locations ensures that anyone approaching the area is immediately aware of the risk and can take appropriate precautions.

It is particularly important in construction sites, maintenance projects, industrial facilities, or refurbishment works where overhead work is frequent. By providing a clear warning, the sign encourages individuals to remain alert, avoid the area if possible, or use protective measures such as hard hats.

Using this sign in combination with barriers, exclusion zones, or PPE requirements enhances overall safety management. Proper deployment reduces the risk of accidents, ensures compliance with safety regulations, and protects both workers and the public from harm caused by falling objects.
