Danger Of Death Polycarbonate Sign helps you warn staff, contractors and visitors before they approach live electrical equipment, high voltage enclosures or exposed risk areas.
Danger Of Death Polycarbonate Sign is a tough electrical hazard warning sign for areas where contact with live equipment could be fatal. It helps you alert staff, contractors and visitors at substations, plant rooms, switchgear rooms and exposed outdoor equipment.
Where Danger Of Death Polycarbonate Signs Should Be Installed
You should install this sign at eye level on access doors, perimeter fencing, electrical cupboards, plant rooms and high voltage equipment approaches where people may enter before recognising the risk. Clear placement helps the warning work before contact or interference happens.
Practical Viewing Distance Guidance
Use the larger size where the approach is longer, lighting is mixed or the sign sits on fencing. As a practical guide, 300 x 250 mm suits closer checks up to about 6–8 metres, while 400 x 300 mm gives stronger recognition from roughly 8–12 metres.
| H 300 x W 250 mm | Best for doors, cupboards and close approach points, around 6–8 metres |
| H 400 x W 300 mm | Better for fencing, yards and wider electrical areas, around 8–12 metres |
