Signs and Posters

Signage does one job: it tells somebody who does not know what is happening that they should not walk into this bay. In a mixed workshop that is the realistic risk, not the technician doing the work, and it is why a sign has to be readable from the door rather than from arm's length.

Posters are a different thing from signs. A sign controls the area on the day. A procedure poster on the wall is there so the sequence is the same whoever is on shift, which is the part that survives staff turnover.

Common questions

What should an EV warning sign say?

That high voltage work is in progress, that unauthorised access is prohibited, and who is in charge of the area. A generic electrical hazard triangle on its own does not tell anybody who to ask.

Do we need signs if we already have barriers?

Yes, and they do different jobs. The barrier physically stops someone. The sign explains why and who to speak to, which is what stops them moving the barrier.

Where should the procedure poster go?

Where the work happens, not in the office. A poster nobody passes on the way to the bay is decoration.
