DANGER Overhead Power Lines Sign – Maintain Clearance – 8x12 Aluminum

Overhead lines do not “look dangerous” until they are already killing something. The risk is rarely the wire itself. It’s the moment a boom, ladder, dump bed, long load, antenna, irrigation pipe, or piece of equipment rises into the wrong space and turns a routine task into an electrocution event.

The CGAP Safety “Danger – Overhead Power Lines – Electrocution Hazard – Maintain Required Clearance” sign is built for the decision points where clearance mistakes happen: site entrances, staging areas, loading zones, equipment routes, fence lines, gates, and work zones beneath or adjacent to overhead conductors. The message is intentionally blunt. It identifies the condition (overhead power lines), the consequence (electrocution), and the operating requirement (maintain required clearance) so crews and visitors understand that proximity is the hazard.

This sign is a strong fit for construction sites, utilities and right-of-way work, farms and agricultural operations, industrial yards, storage lots, and facilities where tall equipment operates near overhead lines. It helps reinforce overhead hazard awareness during setup, spotting, deliveries, and routine movement of materials that can unintentionally extend upward.

Manufactured in an 8 x 12 inch format from rust-resistant aluminum, it’s designed for outdoor placement on posts, fences, walls, and access points where sun, rain, and abrasion quickly destroy paper, laminated sheets, or bargain plastic. The high-contrast red/black/white layout stays readable in the clutter of busy sites and makes the warning obvious before equipment is positioned.

Use this sign as part of your electrical hazard communication and site-control program to reduce clearance violations and help prevent contact incidents around energized overhead lines.

CGAP Safety is an American safety manufacturer dedicated to straightforward, durable signage that helps organizations see the gap and close the gap between written policy and field behavior.

Important: This product is a warning sign only and does not replace required training, site-specific clearance rules, utility coordination, spotter procedures, or applicable electrical safety standards. Always follow the controlling requirements for minimum approach distance and your facility’s written safety program.
