Reviews
Decent sign and does the job, but I expected it to be slightly thicker. Still clearly visible and usable. Reasonable for the price.
Exactly what we needed for compliance on site. The bold text stands out well, even in busy areas. Easy to install too.
Good quality sign with strong visibility. The design is simple but effective for highlighting hazards. Arrived quickly and in good condition.
Very clear warning sign and easy to read from a distance. Ideal for our site where overhead cables are present. Feels durable and well made.
