Helpful guides
Where hard hat area signs are used
Roofing outfits, glazing crews and warehouse supervisors fix this sign to a scaffold ladder, a fence gate at a tilt-up wall job, or the trailer door at a staging yard. It also suits the bottom of a stair tower where a painter climbs to an overhead rail, and the entry to a mezzanine where parts are lifted down from above. The short message states the rule quickly, so a delivery driver or visitor sees it before walking under a load.
Choosing the size and where to hang it
Set it where the overhead risk begins, at about eye level and angled toward the approach. The 36 in x 24 in size reads well on a scaffold or a busy yard gate, and the 18 in x 12 in size suits a narrow walkway or a lone post. Aluminum with holes is the sturdier pick for a job site that stays out in the weather, while plastic works on an indoor landing with brass grommets and zip ties. Reflective aluminum helps when crews arrive before sunrise.
Questions about hard hat area signs
Which header should I choose?
Yellow Caution is the default and covers a hazard that could cause minor or moderate injury. Blue Notice suits information with no hazard attached. Green Safety First fits a sign that points people to where hard hats are kept.
Can I add a line?
Yes. The extra line works well for a site name, a gate number or a floor label, such as BUILDING B. Check the live preview to see how the two lines stack before you order.
What size suits a site entrance?
The 36 x 24 in landscape size reads well from a vehicle at a gate. The 12 x 18 in portrait size fits a door frame or post, and 18 x 12 in landscape is a good middle size for a wall beside a stair.
How do I keep it steady on a windy scaffold?
Use two or more fastening points. On aluminum, the corner holes take screws or bolts into the post or frame. On plastic, the brass grommets take zip ties that hold it to a steel rail. Several points stop the sign from flapping or twisting in the wind. Check your state and local rules for head protection that a job site must post.
Can I put a site name on each sign?
Yes. The optional extra line takes a site name, a gate number or a crew name. Each sign in an order can carry its own text, so crews know which entry they are at. Order five or more signs and quantity savings of 10% apply, or 15% at ten or more.
