Warehouse racking and shelving units, electrical switchgear enclosures, fragile surface areas such as rooftop installations, vehicle tailgates and loading platforms.

Which Material Should I Choose?
Aluminium Composite: Best for permanent indoor or outdoor signage and locations requiring a rigid, durable sign.
Correx: A lightweight, economical option for temporary or shorter-term signage.
Self-Adhesive Vinyl: Best for application directly to smooth, clean surfaces such as doors, panels and equipment housings.

Why this sign: It is used wherever a surface may appear suitable for sitting but poses a risk of collapse, electrical hazard, or personal injury if weight is applied. Common locations include fragile industrial equipment, storage units not designed to bear a person’s weight, and restricted work areas where sitting could obstruct safety systems or cause accidents.

Compliance note: In Ireland, employers must provide appropriate safety signage where hazards cannot be avoided or adequately reduced by other measures, based on the workplace risk assessment, under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007. This sign is suitable for use as part of a workplace safety-signage system where identified by that risk assessment.
