Danger Buried Cable Sign

Underground services hide real, immediate risk. Therefore, you need a Danger Buried Cable Sign that crews notice on approach and obey without hesitation. We design and manufacture in the UK; we keep the ISO 7010 electricity pictogram dominant; and we print for harsh worksites so the warning stays legible in mud, rain, and glare. Consequently, operatives slow down, check plans, and use cable detection before they dig.

Danger Buried Cable Sign: what it communicates and why it works

The yellow triangle with the lightning bolt signals electrical danger. The direct legend “Danger Buried Cable” specifies the hazard location beneath the surface. Because the message is unambiguous, workers stop and verify with CAT and Genny, request permits to dig, and adjust excavation methods. As a result, you reduce strikes, delays, and costly outages.

Buried cable warning sign: where to place it

Position the board at decision points: at site entrances, along haul routes, beside trench starts, and at trial pit zones. Additionally, place it on temporary fencing where utilities cross works areas and at verges that hide corridor routes. In compounds, mount repeaters on gate returns so drivers see the message both in and out. For long approaches, add a second board after bends to remove doubt.

Underground cable warning: typical use cases

Use this sign on street works, civils projects, farm tracks with services, depot yards, and rail compounds. Moreover, mark reinstatement areas during phased jobs so new teams respect existing corridor runs. In mixed-risk sites, pair perimeter boards with point-of-work boards at trench faces, shoring panels, or excavation plant parking.

Compliance and clarity: align with BS 5499 and EN ISO 7010

Auditors check for correct symbols, high contrast, and concise wording. We keep the ISO 7010 electricity pictogram visually dominant; we maintain colour accuracy; and we write short, clear legends. Consequently, the sign aligns with the intent of BS 5499 and EN ISO 7010. For authoritative background on avoiding underground service strikes, review HSE guidance on electricity at work: HSE: Electrical safety.

Materials: build your Danger Buried Cable Sign for the environment

Worksites punish signage with abrasion, splash, and handling. Therefore, choose substrates and finishes that match exposure and service life. All versions use UV-stable, high-resolution print; optional laminates add chemical and scuff resistance.

  • Vinyl Sticker: Smooth plant guards, cabinets, clean hoarding; quick to apply and easy to replace.
  • 2 mm Rigid Plastic (PVC): Lightweight, economical, tidy for interiors and sheltered zones.
  • 3 mm Foamex: Rigid boards with clean edges for walls and site offices.
  • 5 mm Foamex: Extra stiffness for wider spans and frequent handling.
  • 3 mm Aluminium Composite (ACP): Long-term outdoor flatness for posts, fences, and gates.
  • 5 mm Aluminium Composite (ACP): Maximum rigidity for exposed perimeters and windy sites.
  • Optional photoluminescent: Glow in low light; verify suitability for your environment.

Where glare reduces legibility, choose a matte laminate. Where solvents and scuffs occur, select anti-graffiti laminate. Additionally, we can radius corners and pre-drill holes to speed installation and protect edges.

Danger Buried Cable Sign sizes: choose by visibility, not paper

Guesswork creates small boards that users ignore. Instead, size by viewing distance, approach speed, and background complexity. Consequently, use larger panels on long routes and busy backdrops; use compact panels at arm’s length near trench faces or controls. For a defensible method, see our quick guide: Safety Sign Size Guide.

Installation: fix it right the first time

Match fixings to the surface. On clean metal, VHB tape bonds quickly after a degrease. On timber or masonry, use stainless screws with backing washers. On mesh or Heras fencing, cable-tie a pre-drilled ACP panel. Finally, leave a small offset from edges and handles to prevent snagging during handling.

Maintain visibility: keep the message crisp

Dirt, spray, and dust hide warnings. Therefore, add a quick wipe to site checks. Replace damaged boards promptly; consistency across the route reduces confusion. Additionally, log locations in your signage schedule so replacements arrive pre-drilled and correctly labelled.

Build a coherent electrical safety system

One sign helps; a system prevents incidents. Layer your warnings across approach, perimeter, and the point of work. For buried services, combine this board with the Warning High Voltage Cables Underground Sign on long approaches. For high-energy assets near the dig area, point buyers to the previous product page here: Danger High Voltage Keep Away Sign. For driver briefings and haul routes that cross service corridors, include reference to Warning Drivers Electric Cables Sign. Consequently, crews keep risk in mind before any bucket touches ground.
