Danger High Voltage No Admittance Authorised Personnel Only Signs
Danger High Voltage No Admittance Authorised Personnel Only Signs combine an electrical hazard warning with a clear access restriction, helping you protect staff, contractors and visitors around switchgear, plant rooms, substations and other controlled high voltage areas.
Where High Voltage Authorised Access Signs Should Be Installed
You should install this sign on doors, gates, barriers and approach points before anyone reaches exposed electrical risk. It works best where a person must decide whether they are permitted to enter, such as switch rooms, transformer areas, control rooms and maintenance-only spaces.
Viewing Distance Guidance for Safe Recognition
For close door reading, 150 x 300 mm is suitable at around 2–4 metres. For wider approaches, 300 x 500 mm gives clearer recognition at roughly 5–8 metres, especially where staff or contractors approach from a corridor, yard or plant access route.
What This Sign Should Change on Site
Once fitted in the right position, this sign should make people stop before entering, recognise the electrical hazard quickly and understand that access is limited to authorised personnel only.
