Men Working Above Signs

These signs should be placed on barricades and at all entrances to the area directly below the overhead work. They are often seen at the base of ladders, scaffolding, or building roofs, and pair well with our danger stand-up floor signs for temporary setups.

OSHA requires employers to protect employees from falling objects. This includes using toe boards on scaffolding, netting systems, and clearly marking the area below with warning signs to keep people out. Failing to post signs is a direct violation of regulatory and compliance standards.

A men working above sign warns of a specific, immediate hazard. A hard hat area sign defines a broader zone where head protection is mandatory at all times, often because of risks like overhead work. The two are used together to enforce mandatory PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) requirements.

Related signs include falling material, warning: watch for falling debris and warning: overhead conveyor. We also offer signs for specific dangers, such as rockfall warning signs in specific environments.
