Overview

If "Caution Dangerous Site Keep Out" needs saying clearly, this is the sign, and caution dangerous site keep out sign printing is what we do. It tells anyone without business there to stay out, and you will find it in private land, plant rooms, compounds and building sites.

What the sign says

It reads "Caution Dangerous Site Keep Out". Yellow triangle, black border: the shape everyone reads as "watch out". The layout is a yellow triangle above black wording, plus the ISO 7010 W001 symbol (general warning sign). The CAUTION heading tells people to watch out; the line beneath says for what.

Putting it up

On each gate and entrance, then at intervals along the boundary. Repeat the key signs along the hoarding so they can be seen from every approach, not just the main gate.

The right size for caution dangerous site keep out sign printing depends on the reading distance. Reading distance is worked out from the sign’s short side: about a metre for every 25 mm, the distance factor from ISO 3864-1. That makes A3 to about 12 m, A2 to about 17 m and A1 to about 24 m. Long corridors, yards and car parks need the bigger sizes.

Boards for caution dangerous site keep out sign printing

For caution dangerous site keep out sign printing, pick the board to suit the spot:

  • 3.5mm Correx, the fluted plastic board: light, waterproof and cheap to replace, which is why it is the site-sign favourite
  • 3mm Foamex, a rigid PVC foam board that screws or sticks up easily and is happiest indoors or out for a season
  • 3mm Dibond, aluminium skins on a solid core, the one to pick for a sign that stays outside for years

Correx for temporary jobs, Foamex for indoors, Dibond for anything staying outside for years.

Site signs get knocked, splashed and blown about, so Correx or Dibond usually makes more sense on a live job than Foamex.

On a construction job the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 make the principal contractor responsible for keeping unauthorised people out, and boundary signs are part of how that is done.

Which size do I need?

A safety sign must be large enough to read from where people will see it. Our conservative guide, based on the distance-factor method in ISO 3864-1, is about 1 metre of viewing distance for every 25 mm of sign height (the shorter side). Use it with your own risk assessment.

SizeReadable from up to about
A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm)12 m
A2 landscape (594 × 420 mm)17 m
A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm)24 m

Well lit or internally lit signs can be read from further away; dim areas need larger signs.

Questions

Quick answers about caution dangerous site keep out sign printing.

What size do I need so people can read "Caution Dangerous Site Keep Out"?

Go by reading distance rather than wall space. In normal light, A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) covers 12 m, A2 landscape (594 × 420 mm) covers 17 m and A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm) covers 24 m. Choose one size up if people pass quickly or the area is poorly lit.

Does "Caution Dangerous Site Keep Out" come with a recognised safety symbol?

It does. The pictogram is ISO 7010 W001, General warning sign, drawn from public domain artwork and paired with the "Caution Dangerous Site Keep Out" wording.

Where is the best place to put the "Caution Dangerous Site Keep Out" sign?

Put it at each gate and way in, then repeated along the boundary so it can be seen from any side. Walk the route yourself and make sure it is seen from the direction people come.

Am I legally required to display "Caution Dangerous Site Keep Out"?

Under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 the principal contractor has to stop unauthorised people getting onto the site. Signs at the boundary are part of how that is done. Your risk assessment is what decides the exact positions.

Is anything added to the price of the "Caution Dangerous Site Keep Out" sign at checkout?

Only delivery, where it applies. The figure on the page is the one you pay at checkout. The £26.07 starting price for the "Caution Dangerous Site Keep Out" sign is the full price of the goods.

Dibond, Foamex or Correx: which should we pick for a Caution Dangerous Site Keep Out Sign?

Correx is a waterproof fluted plastic suited to short-term jobs outdoors. Foamex is a light plastic board, best kept indoors or somewhere sheltered. Dibond, an aluminium composite, is the long-life choice for outdoors and hard-wearing spots. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.

Which sizes can the Caution Dangerous Site Keep Out Sign be printed in?

Smallest: A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm), from £26.07. Biggest: A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), from £51.39. One more is listed in between, and every figure is for the cheapest options. Not sure which?

Then match that number: up to 12 m for A3 landscape, 17 m for A2 landscape or 24 m for A1 landscape. Dim corners or people on the move call for one size bigger. Those distances follow the ISO 3864-1 distance-factor method (25 mm of height per metre) and sit alongside your risk assessment, not in place of it. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all.

Where is the best spot for a Caution Dangerous Site Keep Out Sign?

For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.

What will people understand when they see a Caution Dangerous Site Keep Out Sign?

Its job is to flag up a hazard: "Caution Dangerous Site Keep Out" is laid out as a warning sign, built around a black-edged yellow triangle. The picture is W001 from ISO 7010 (general warning sign), which gets the point across to visitors who read little or no English. Those colours and shapes come from the 1996 Safety Signs and Signals Regulations, which is why they look familiar.

We are kitting out a hall with several different signs. Can they all go in one order?

Yes. Put each sign in the basket with whichever size and board suits its spot, then pay once at checkout. One delivery charge covers the whole order, and it drops to nothing when the goods reach £100 after any discount code. Picking the same board for every sign gives the set a matching look; "Caution Dangerous Site Keep Out" comes in A3 landscape, A2 landscape and A1 landscape.

Yes. One is enough, and you do not need a business name or an account to check out. The opening price is £26.07, and any bank card will do. On its own the opening price of £26.07 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero. A person still checks your file before it is printed, just as for a big order.

Will anyone look at my file before it is printed?

How many pixels does a photo need to print well on this sign?

Roughly 9,933 pixels across and 7,016 down for an A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm) design, which is 300 dpi. Things read at arm's length need that 300 dpi at full size to stay crisp. Text and logos are safest as vector art, which never goes fuzzy. Pictures saved from a website or social media are nearly always too small, and our file check will point out any that could print blurred. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm). Material choices for Caution Dangerous Site Keep Out Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 3mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.

Which file formats can I upload?

A PDF made at the size you ordered works best, with the fonts embedded or turned into outlines. AI, EPS and SVG are fine too, as are high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF images. Word, PowerPoint or Canva designs can be used, but save them out as a full quality PDF where you can. Attach up to 3 files of up to 25 MB each on the product page, or order first and send them afterwards; we email you a link.

Material choices for Caution Dangerous Site Keep Out Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 3mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.

Can the wording on a Caution Dangerous Site Keep Out Sign be changed, or our logo added?

A school can add its crest to "Caution Dangerous Site Keep Out", a club its badge, a shop its name. Choose typesetting (£15) if you know the words, or design from your brief (£35) if you would like us to lay it out; each comes with one first draft and two rounds of changes. Have your own finished file? Upload it free and one of our team will look it over. Keep the symbol and safety colours unchanged so the sign still reads the right way. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all.

What thickness is the Caution Dangerous Site Keep Out Sign, and does it feel sturdy?

For a rigid sign, the board sets the thickness: Correx at 3.5 mm, Foamex at 3 mm and Dibond at 3 mm. Foamex is a lightweight PVC foam board. Dibond has aluminium on both faces around a plastic middle, so it stays flat and firm but is easy to fix. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. On its opening option, Caution Dangerous Site Keep Out Sign leaves us after 5 working days on Saver.

We are putting up a full set of signs at our premises. Which ones sit well next to this one?

Two good companions for it are Safety Helmets Must Be Worn Sign and Heavy Plant and Machinery Operate Sign. Each has a page of its own with every size, material and a live price, and picking one material for all of them makes the wall look like a matching set. Put the lot in a single basket and you pay one delivery charge, which drops to nothing when the goods reach £100. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.

It gets dark early in winter. Can people still read the Caution Dangerous Site Keep Out Sign in the evening?

Only if a light falls on it. The Correx, Foamex and Dibond versions are printed without any reflective or glow-in-the-dark layer. So for a church car park, a school path or a yard used on winter evenings, put it beneath a lamp that is already there, or add a light. If your risk assessment says a sign has to reflect or glow, buy that one from a firm that makes them. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Material choices for Caution Dangerous Site Keep Out Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 3mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.

Will a Caution Dangerous Site Keep Out Sign cope with rain and wind outdoors?

"Caution Dangerous Site Keep Out" can go outside as long as you match the material to the job. For a sign that stays out for years, Dibond is the one to choose. Correx is waterproof and happy outdoors for shorter spells. Foamex will manage a sheltered spot, such as a porch or under a canopy, but it is really an indoor board. Strong sun slowly fades any print, so glance at outdoor signs every so often and swap any that have become hard to read. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.

What is the easiest way to put up a Caution Dangerous Site Keep Out Sign?

It depends what "Caution Dangerous Site Keep Out" is going on. Brick or plaster: screws through holes near the corners, washers under the heads, and a light hand (Foamex especially). Painted doors and smooth walls inside: foam tape or sticky pads, no drilling needed. Fences and railings: cable ties, or a post, for the Correx board. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.

Which material is cheapest for the Caution Dangerous Site Keep Out Sign?

Taking the smallest size, A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm), as the example: 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £47.35, 3mm Foamex at £31.10 and 3.5mm Correx at £26.07. Larger sizes follow a similar pattern, and the full grid sits in the size table further up the page. Think about where it is going first: a cheap material in the wrong spot can end up costing more. Before delivery, this sign costs from £26.07. Material choices for Caution Dangerous Site Keep Out Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 3mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.

Do we legally have to display a Caution Dangerous Site Keep Out Sign?

Not in every case. The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 require employers to put up safety signs where a risk is left over once other controls are in place. So whether you need "Caution Dangerous Site Keep Out" on display, and where it goes, comes out of your own risk assessment. A sign adds to other safety measures and never takes their place. The symbol on this sign follows ISO 7010, reference W001.

Will my logo colours come out the same as on screen?

Very close, but not always identical. A screen glows, print reflects light, so a small difference is normal. Sending CMYK artwork keeps it nearest; RGB is changed to CMYK before printing and the brightest greens, blues and oranges can look a touch flatter. For an exact brand colour, give us the Pantone reference and we get as close as the material allows.

Keep the same symbol and sign colours so nobody misreads it. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all.

That shape is made for wide spaces, such as a fence panel, the wall above a door or a long corridor. If your spot needs the opposite, pick one of the paid design options and we re-lay it to suit. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all.

The spot gets full sun all afternoon. Could this sign warp in the heat?

It depends on the board. Foamex is foamed plastic, and a large, thin sheet in strong sun can curve, most of all when it is held only at the corners. Dibond sandwiches a core between aluminium skins and stays flat, which is why people choose it for signs that live outdoors for years. If you go with Foamex, fix it flat to a wall along its length or pick a thicker option. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. Before delivery, this sign costs from £26.07. Material choices for Caution Dangerous Site Keep Out Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 3mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.

Could the Caution Dangerous Site Keep Out Sign go on a door, say an office or classroom door?

It can, held on with double-sided foam tape or a couple of screws. On a flat door, the 3mm Foamex board with foam tape on the back is a good alternative. Aim for eye height, either beside the door or on the side people push, so an open door does not hide it. Fire doors are different: ask the person responsible for the building before you drill into one. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. Material choices for Caution Dangerous Site Keep Out Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 3mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.
