Overhead hazard signs for scaffold and work-at-height areas
For a fixed overhead work warning, use men working overhead aluminium signage where people need to know workers are above them. This is useful around scaffold, gantries and maintenance routes.
Where objects may fall, compare with danger falling objects signs for areas below lifting, storage or work-at-height activity. They give a more direct warning about what could happen.
If scaffolding is incomplete, add scaffolding incomplete stanchion signs at access points. This helps prevent unsafe use before the structure is ready.
For general dangerous site conditions, choose danger stanchion hazard warnings where a flexible warning is needed. They support temporary control around changing overhead risks.
For more overhead and temporary works messages, browse site safety signs for overhead hazards and choose the most specific warning. This helps reduce vague or duplicated signage.
