Danger Batteries Charging Shut Off Charger Sign helps you control charger connection behaviour in battery rooms, workshops and forklift charging areas, reducing spark risk and unsafe disconnection
This dual-message battery charging sign warns you that batteries are on charge and instructs staff to shut off the charger before connecting or disconnecting. It helps maintenance teams, warehouse staff and contractors reduce spark risk around charging points.
Best Locations for Battery Charger Shut-Off Signs
You should install this sign at eye level beside chargers, battery cupboards, workshop charging benches and forklift charging bays. Position it before the user reaches the lead or isolator so the shut-off instruction is seen before any connection is handled.
Viewing Distance Guidance for Charging Areas
Choose a size that can be read before staff reach the charger. For compact rooms, A4 is usually enough; for forklift bays or longer approaches, repeat the sign or use a larger format where available.
| Size option | Practical reading distance | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| H 297 x W 210mm | Up to 5 metres / 16 feet | Battery benches, cupboards, doors |
| Repeated A4 signs | 5–10 metres / 16–33 feet | Longer charger runs or several bays |
Safer Behaviour Around Battery Charging Points
This sign changes the moment of action: staff see the warning before touching the charger lead, remember to isolate power first and avoid treating battery charging as a routine plug-in task.
✅ Fewer live-connection mistakes during charging work
✅ Clearer instruction for staff, visitors and contractors
✅ Better control in busy battery storage and service areas

Is this suitable for forklift battery charging bays? Yes, it is suitable for forklift charging areas, workshop battery benches, plant rooms, service bays and maintenance stores where charging equipment is used.
