Danger Bare Live Wires Sign.
All the signs in the Warning Signs and category conform to the Health & Safety Signs and Signals Regulations – BS 5499-1 and EN ISO 7010. Please contact us at info@eusigns.co.uk for customised size and design requests.
Danger Bare Live Wires Sign
Exposed conductors can injure in seconds. Therefore, your site needs a Danger Bare Live Wires Sign that people recognise instantly and obey at once. We design and manufacture in the UK, we keep the ISO 7010 electricity symbol dominant, and we print for harsh environments so the warning stays clear. Moreover, the direct legend removes doubt, which helps supervisors enforce rules and helps visitors act safely without coaching.
Danger Bare Live Wires Sign: what it communicates and why it works
The yellow triangle with the lightning bolt signals an electrical hazard. The words “Danger Bare Live Wires” specify the risk: exposed, energised conductors. Consequently, users slow down, isolate, or keep away. This targeted message outperforms generic warnings in temporary works, maintenance bays, test rigs, and any area where covers or guards are off during fault finding or commissioning.
Typical placements for a bare live wires warning
Fit this sign at test benches, temporary hook ups, open junction boxes, panel builds, and areas where cables exit trays before termination. Additionally, use it on barriers around exposed busbars, transformer secondaries, and energized terminations. In mixed-risk zones, pair this product with the general Danger Live Wires Sign on approaches so teams understand a live risk exists before they enter the immediate area.
Cover the perimeter and the point of work
Place a perimeter warning where people decide whether to proceed. Then, repeat the Danger Bare Live Wires Sign at the immediate hazard. Consequently, the message remains visible both at the decision point and at the work face. Furthermore, add route arrows or “Authorised personnel only” if the space needs access control during energised testing.
Compliance: align with BS 5499 and EN ISO 7010
Auditors look for correct pictograms, strong contrast, and clear wording. We keep the ISO 7010 electricity symbol visually dominant; we set short, unambiguous legends; and we maintain colour accuracy. As a result, the board aligns with the intent of BS 5499 and EN ISO 7010. For authoritative context on managing electrical risks, review HSE: Electrical safety.
Materials that survive real industrial sites
Workshops and compounds punish signage with heat, abrasion, and solvents. Therefore, choose a substrate that matches exposure and service life. All variants print at high resolution with UV stable inks; optional laminates add chemical and scuff resistance. Additionally, we can pre drill holes and radius corners to speed fitting and cut edge damage.
- Vinyl Sticker: Smooth enclosures, guards, and clean panels; quick to apply and easy to replace.
- 2 mm Rigid Plastic (PVC): Lightweight, economical choice for interiors and test bays.
- 3 mm Foamex: Rigid boards with clean edges for walls and machine surrounds.
- 5 mm Foamex: Extra stiffness for wider spans and frequent handling.
- 3 mm Aluminium Composite (ACP): Long term flatness near heat or moisture.
- 5 mm Aluminium Composite (ACP): Maximum rigidity for exposed, high traffic routes.
- Optional photoluminescent: Glow in low light; verify suitability for your environment.
Danger Bare Live Wires Sign sizes: choose by visibility, not paper habits
Size by viewing distance, approach speed, and background complexity. Larger panels suit long approaches and busy backdrops; compact panels suit arm’s length at controls. For a method you can defend in audits, use our calculator and quick method here: Safety Sign Size Guide.

Installation: fix it right the first time
Match fixings to the surface. On smooth skins, VHB tape bonds fast after a degrease. On rough walls, use stainless screws with backing washers. On mesh guards, cable tie a pre drilled ACP panel. Moreover, leave a small offset from edges and handles so the board avoids catching on moving parts or cleaning tools.
Maintain visibility and keep the message crisp
Coolant, dust, and fingerprints hide warnings. Therefore, add a quick wipe to daily checks in high use areas. Select matte laminate where glare from bay lighting reduces legibility. Choose anti graffiti laminate where scuffs and solvents are common. Replace damaged boards promptly so your safety system remains consistent across shifts.
Integrate the warning with your procedures
Signs work best when you back them with process. Pair the Danger Bare Live Wires Sign with lockout checks, toolbox talks, and a short checklist at the point of work. Additionally, store eye and hand protection beside the sign so compliance is immediate. For different risks along fences and perimeters, add edge protection boards such as the Warning Razor Wire Sign and the Danger Barbed Wire Sign.
Build a coherent electrical safety system
One sign helps; a system prevents incidents. Use the general Danger Live Wires Sign at approaches, then apply this product at the exact hazard. Additionally, for overhead conductors or buried services, deploy the appropriate boards from your range. If you also need emergency instruction panels for buildings, browse your Fire Action Signs category here: Fire Action Signs. Finally, record placements in a simple schedule so replacements arrive pre drilled and correctly labelled.
Who uses this sign and where
Manufacturing plants, fabrication shops, utilities, rail electrification teams, and college labs use this board wherever exposed conductors appear during tests or repairs. Supervisors mount it at assets; H and S teams standardise layouts across sites; procurement orders labelled packs that match the equipment list. Consequently, operators learn to expect consistent warnings and act faster.
Why order from EU Signs
We manufacture in Borehamwood; we print on UV flatbed and solvent platforms; and we finish on CNC for clean edges. Therefore, you receive crisp pictograms, accurate colour, and panels that sit flat and last. We offer free local delivery within three miles of WD6; we ship quickly across the UK; and we store your artwork masters for exact reorders. If you need bilingual text or asset IDs, we add them while keeping the pictogram dominant.
