PPE required including Warning of Forklift safety sign (PPE005)

The PPE required including Warning of Forklift sign (PPE005) is used to warn people of a specific hazard that could cause injury, damage, or operational risk if not recognised in time. It supports safer decision-making by drawing attention to danger before exposure.

Purpose and function

This sign provides immediate hazard awareness and supports safer behaviour. It should be positioned so the warning is seen early enough for people to adjust their actions or route.

Typical applications

• Approaches to hazardous areas such as machinery zones, chemical storage, or high-risk work areas
• Entrances to restricted or controlled spaces where hazard awareness is required
• Sites where visitors, contractors, or new staff need clear hazard communication

Customisation and ordering

This is a custom sign product. If you would like a version that is not listed on our website, or if you would like to customise this sign further (size, wording, layout, material, language, or mounting requirements), please contact us via our contact page.

Selection and placement guidance

Place the sign where the decision or behaviour occurs, and ensure it remains unobstructed. For best results, keep the message consistent across the site and use repeat signage along longer routes or where sightlines are broken.

Material and visibility options

Custom signs can be supplied in a range of standard materials and finishes suitable for indoor or outdoor use. Select a size and material that matches viewing distance, lighting conditions, and expected wear, and consider higher visibility finishes where fast recognition is required.

Compliance note

This custom sign is manufactured using standard safety sign design conventions and is intended for clear, consistent communication. It is not supplied as an SABS approved safety sign unless specifically stated for the product.
