Overhead Hazard Signs

Overhead Warning Signs: Buying Guide

On construction sites overhead hazards are common with employees working on different levels and cranes used to move loads around the site. A head injury in these circumstances could be serious, leading to long-term consequences.

Construction sites, however, are not the only place where overhead hazards can be found. For example, low ceilings in a warehouse or on the factory floor where products or equipment are moved overhead can cause a potential hazard. So too can any overhead cables, which can pose a serious threat of electrocution.

By using overhead hazard signs in the relevant locations on your site you can make sure that everyone is aware of overhead hazards and can take the necessary action to avoid them or to protect themselves from potential injury.

At Seton, we have an extensive range of overhead hazard signs. All feature the hazard triangle with a border that can be easily seen and understood. The symbol inside the triangle can convey information on the hazard, for instance an overhead crane. In addition to the symbol, many of our signs also feature wording to further explain the hazard.

With so many variables in different industries there needs to be a number of options for overhead hazard signs. These include materials that are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Worn signs may not sufficiently convey the warning message, but our signs are durable, and some include the option of UV resistance so that even in challenging conditions, the hazard warning continues to be clearly displayed. Ensure your signs last the test of time further by adding suitable sign fixings to your order.

An overhead hazard sign is effective at warning people to keep clear of the area where there is a risk of head injury, but for those who need to be in that area, the sign reminds them to protect themselves. If you have employees or visitors needing to be in an area where there are overhead hazards, make sure they are protected from head injuries. At Seton, we stock a large range of head protection, including hard hats, which are a legal requirement for many workplaces. For all other hazard warning signs, take a look at our whole range.
