Danger Switchgear Room Sign – Arc Flash Shock Hazard Authorized Personnel Only, 8x12 Rust-Resistant Aluminum Electrical Safety Sign by CGAP Safety

Switchgear rooms are not “just another mechanical room.” They are high-energy electrical spaces where arc flash and electrical shock hazards can exist during normal operations, troubleshooting, and maintenance activities. The fastest way to turn a routine task into a major incident is letting the wrong person walk through the door at the wrong time.

The CGAP Safety “Danger – Switchgear Room – Arc Flash / Shock Hazard – Authorized Personnel Only” sign is built to establish clear expectations at the point of entry. The bold DANGER header sets urgency immediately, while the arc flash and shock language communicates the hazard profile without ambiguity. The “Authorized Personnel Only” directive supports controlled access for facilities that run qualification requirements, lockout/tagout programs, energized work policies, and PPE standards.

Sized at 8 x 12 inches, this sign is easy to place on electrical room doors, adjacent walls, fence panels, or approach points where it will be seen before entry. The high-contrast red, black, and white layout stays readable in busy industrial environments where people are moving fast and distractions are unlimited.

Manufactured from rust-resistant aluminum, it is designed for long-term indoor or outdoor durability and outperforms paper notices and thin plastic signs that fade, crack, or peel in real facility conditions.

Use this sign as part of your electrical safety communication strategy to help deter unauthorized access, reduce near-misses, and reinforce consistent entry discipline around switchgear areas.

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

Important: This sign is a warning tool only and does not replace required training, risk assessments, lockout/tagout, labeling, PPE requirements, or applicable standards and site procedures. Always follow your facility’s electrical safety program and equipment documentation.
