Reviews
The sign’s bright colours and warning symbol are very visible, and it serves the purpose well in our garage. My only minor gripe is that it feels a bit small for a bigger workshop space — a larger version would be more noticeable from across the room. That said, for a smaller area this works just fine.
Bought this sign for our workshop where we often stack materials overhead. The bright colours and clear symbol grab attention — no one can miss it. It feels robust and well-made, and after mounting it above the door frame it’s stayed put. It looks professional and adds an extra layer of safety. Definitely a worthwhile buy.
We mounted this Overhead Hazard sign in our warehouse where there are low overhead beams. The warning text and pictogram are bold and easy to spot, even from a distance, making it obvious there’s a head-injury risk above. The sign feels sturdy, and the material seems good quality - should last a long time. Installation was straightforward, and it gives us peace of mind that staff and visitors will be aware of the danger. Very satisfied.
Straightforward warning sign - clear wording and hazard symbol make it obvious there’s a risk above. The plastic is decent quality though a bit lightweight; it hasn’t chipped or faded yet. It’s nothing fancy, but for safety in a workshop it’s just what’s needed. I’d get it again if I needed more for other hazard zones.
