It Is Strictly Forbidden To Climb On The Racking Signs are compact prohibition signs for warehouses and storage areas. They help you stop staff or visitors using racking as access equipment, reducing confusion at the point of risk and reinforcing safer behaviour around stored goods.
Where to Position the Sign
Install the sign directly on racking where someone is most likely to consider climbing, keeping it in the normal line of sight and clear of stored items. Positioning the instruction at the decision point helps you stop unsafe access before it starts.
Viewing Distance for a 50 x 100mm Sign
This 50 x 100mm sign is best treated as a close-range instruction. Aim for a practical reading distance of about 1–2 metres in normal conditions; where the message must be understood from farther away, use a larger-format sign rather than relying on this small size.

Installation Guidance
Visibility mistakes to avoid
❌ Do not position the sign behind pallets, cartons or other stored items that can hide the instruction.
❌ Avoid fitting it so high, low or far from the decision point that someone is unlikely to read it before attempting to climb.
Where the sign is not enough
❌ Do not rely on this compact 50 x 100mm format when the instruction needs to be read from a substantial distance.
❌ Do not treat the sign as a replacement for suitable access equipment, safe working procedures, training or supervision.
Position it for action
✅ Fit adhesive versions to a suitable clean surface and position the message where it can be seen before someone reaches or steps onto the racking.
✅ Use a suitable fixing method for rigid versions and avoid drilling, cutting or otherwise altering structural racking solely to attach the sign unless the alteration has been approved.
