Why this sign: This sign must be posted at the access point to any work area where there is a risk of falling from height, such as rooftops, scaffolding, elevated walkways or open edges. It ensures compliance with working-at-height regulations by making the mandatory use of fall-arrest equipment clearly visible before workers enter the hazard zone. Failure to wear a harness in such areas can result in fatal or life-changing injuries.

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.
