Danger High Voltage Keep Away Sign

Electricity does not forgive mistakes. Therefore, a clear and specific Danger High Voltage Keep Away Sign belongs anywhere a high energy source is present. 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 crisp and visible.

Because the legend names the hazard and the action, people react faster. Operators slow down, isolate, or stand clear. Visitors understand the rule without coaching. Consequently, you reduce near misses and you strengthen audit readiness across shifts.

Danger High Voltage Keep Away Sign: what it communicates

The yellow triangle with the lightning bolt signals an electrical hazard. The words “Danger High Voltage Keep Away” remove doubt. Users see the risk and the required behaviour in one glance, which shortens decision time and cuts errors.

Use this board at switchgear doors, MCC rooms, substation fences, test bays, inverter cabinets, battery rooms, generator enclosures, and transformer compounds. Additionally, fit it at temporary power runs, crane pads with overhead lines, and plant rooms with multiple feeders.

High voltage keep away sign: where to place it

Place the sign where people choose their next action. Fix it at eye level beside isolators, access doors, and interlocked guards. Moreover, repeat it at long approaches, after bends, and on the inside face of controlled doors so the warning appears both on entry and exit.

In shared yards, position the sign before low clearances, near crane laydown areas, and at MEWP setup points. On farms, place it where sprayers and harvesters lift booms near lines. On construction sites, show it at perimeter hoardings and at the lift supervisor station.

Danger High Voltage Keep Away Sign: typical use cases

Fabrication bays with mixed voltages need clear asset labels. Therefore, put this sign on the enclosure that carries high voltage supplies. For buried services along works routes, pair it with the Warning High Voltage Cables Underground Sign so crews respect the ground risk too.

For approach warnings, add general electrical boards where appropriate. You can reference the product page here: Danger High Voltage Keep Away Sign for ordering details and bulk options.

Integrate related warnings along the route

One sign helps, a system prevents incidents. Use a layered approach that covers approach, perimeter, and point of work. As a result, people understand the risk before they reach the asset and they keep that context at the work face.

For example, if your site also exposes crews to live open conductors, combine this board with a clear area label and, where relevant, a general warning such as Danger Buried Cable Sign. For high energy overhead risks or mixed utility corridors, add route planning notes beside the signs.

Compliance and clarity

Auditors look for correct pictograms, colour fidelity, and unambiguous text. We keep the ISO 7010 electricity symbol visually dominant and we maintain high contrast. Furthermore, our legends stay short and specific so readers act quickly.

This approach aligns with the intent of BS 5499 and EN ISO 7010. For authoritative guidance on controlling electrical risks, review the Health and Safety Executive overview: HSE: Electrical safety. Use that context to back your RAMS and toolbox talks.

High voltage keep away sign materials that last

Workplaces punish signage with heat, dust, washdown, and impacts. Therefore, choose substrates and finishes that match exposure and service life. All versions use high resolution print with UV stable inks. Optional laminates add chemical and abrasion resistance.

• Vinyl Sticker: Smooth enclosures and guards, quick to apply and easy to replace.
• 2 mm Rigid Plastic (PVC): Lightweight and economical for interiors and plant rooms.
• 3 mm Foamex: Rigid panels with clean edges for walls and panels.
• 5 mm Foamex: Extra stiffness for wider spans and rough handling.
• 3 mm Aluminium Composite (ACP): Long term flatness near heat or moisture.
• 5 mm Aluminium Composite (ACP): Maximum rigidity for exposed, windy sites.
• Optional photoluminescent: Glow in low light, verify suitability before use.

Where glare is common, choose a matte laminate. Where solvents and scuffs appear, select anti graffiti laminate. Additionally, request radius corners and pre drilled holes to speed installation and protect edges.

Danger High Voltage Keep Away sizes: choose by visibility

Guesswork creates tiny boards that users ignore. Instead, pick size by viewing distance, approach speed, and background complexity. Consequently, larger panels suit vehicle routes and cluttered backdrops while compact panels suit arm’s length locations near controls.

For a structured method you can defend in audits, use our calculator and quick method here: Safety Sign Size Guide. That guidance helps teams choose consistently across sites.

Stocked sizes in millimetres

• 150 × 200
• 200 × 300
• 300 × 100
• 300 × 200
• 300 × 400
• 400 × 300
• 400 × 600
• 600 × 200
• 600 × 400

Installation that saves time

Match fixings to the surface. On smooth skins, VHB tape bonds fast after a thorough degrease. On rough walls, use stainless screws with backing washers. On mesh guards, cable tie a pre drilled ACP panel for stability.

Leave a small offset from edges and handles. Avoid hinge plates and lift points. After fitting, log the position in your signage schedule so replacements arrive pre drilled and correctly labelled.

Maintenance keeps the message readable

Coolant, dust, and fingerprints hide text. Build a quick wipe into daily or weekly checks. Matte and anti graffiti laminates tolerate solvent wipes and keep the surface legible. Replace damaged boards promptly so your system remains consistent.

Plan a complete electrical safety set

Cover the ground risk with the Warning High Voltage Cables Underground Sign. Reinforce general approach warnings with the Danger High Voltage Keep Away Sign reference page, which you can use for bulk orders and specifications.

When routes cross utility corridors or perimeter fences, add perimeter hazard boards that reduce temptation to shortcut. See Danger Buried Cable Sign for buried power routes. Additionally, where you brief drivers about overhead services, include this reference: Warning Drivers Electric Cables Sign so haul routes remain safe.

Internal links that help buyers and supervisors

If you are building a full set of electrical hazard warnings, also consider adjacent products. For general live conductor risk, see the Danger Live Wires Sign. For exposed conductors, use the specific bare conductor variant. For perimeter threats like razor or barbed wire, browse those dedicated boards for fences and walls.

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 boards that sit flat. We offer free local delivery within three miles of WD6 and fast shipping across the UK.

We store your artwork masters and drilling patterns. Consequently, repeat orders arrive identical and fit first time. If you need bilingual text, asset IDs, or QR codes to your procedures, we add them without compromising legibility.

Frequently asked questions

Is this board aligned with UK safety sign principles

Yes. We design to the intent of BS 5499 and EN ISO 7010. The electricity pictogram is dominant, colours are correct, and the legend is concise.

How do I select the right size

Start from viewing distance and approach speed. Then use the quick method in our Safety Sign Size Guide. Finally, apply common sense for glare, clutter, and sightlines.

Can you match our existing boards

Yes. Send a photo or file. We will match materials, sizes, margins, colours, and hole patterns. We then save the spec for fast reorders.
