Overview
If "Danger Buried Cables" needs saying clearly, this is the sign, and danger buried cables sign printing is what we do. It warns that live cables are buried below ground, and you will find it in site groundworks, trenches and excavations.
Boards for danger buried cables sign printing
There is a board for each kind of spot in our danger buried cables sign printing range:
- 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
- self-adhesive vinyl, which sticks flat to smooth walls, doors, glass and machine guards
Inside, Foamex or vinyl does the job. Outside for the long haul, go Dibond.
Reading the sign
It reads "Danger Buried Cables". The DANGER header is saved for hazards that can kill or badly injure, which is why it gets noticed over the everyday caution signs. The layout is a yellow triangle with a heavy DANGER heading, plus the ISO 7010 W012 symbol (electricity).
Putting it up
At the trench or dig area and on the route of the cable. Fix it at eye level on the enclosure, so it is seen before the door or cover is opened.
Sizing your danger buried cables sign printing comes down to distance. Rule of thumb from ISO 3864-1: each 25 mm on the short side of the sign gives roughly a metre of reading distance. That makes A4 to about 8 m, A3 to about 12 m, A2 to about 17 m and A1 to about 24 m. Anything read from a distance or a moving vehicle wants the larger sizes.
Anyone working on the equipment should see the warning before they see the kit.
Under the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996, employers put up a safety sign wherever a risk is still there after other controls. Warning signs take the yellow triangle with a black edge.

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.
| Size | Readable from up to about |
|---|---|
| A4 (210 × 297 mm) | 8 m |
| A3 (297 × 420 mm) | 12 m |
| A2 (420 × 594 mm) | 17 m |
| A1 (594 × 841 mm) | 24 m |
Well lit or internally lit signs can be read from further away; dim areas need larger signs.
Questions
Quick answers about danger buried cables sign printing.
How big should the Danger Buried Cables sign be?
Think about the furthest point someone needs to read it from. For "Danger Buried Cables", A4 (210 × 297 mm) for readers up to 8 m away, A3 (297 × 420 mm) for readers up to 12 m away, A2 (420 × 594 mm) for readers up to 17 m away and A1 (594 × 841 mm) for readers up to 24 m away. Those distances assume ordinary light, so if it is gloomy or people are driving past, step up one size.
Is the symbol on this sign an ISO 7010 one?
Yes: W012, Electricity. The "Danger Buried Cables" text sits alongside it, and the pictogram is taken from public domain artwork.
Where should the "Danger Buried Cables" message go so people act on it?
The right place is at the trench or dig, and along the line of the cable. Fix it where it will not be hidden by doors, deliveries or vehicles.
Am I legally required to display "Danger Buried Cables"?
The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 call for a safety sign wherever a significant risk is left after other controls. Live electrical equipment is a common case. Your risk assessment is what decides the exact positions.
How soon will the Danger Buried Cables sign reach me?
Standard takes 4 working days to make, or Express 2 working days. After that, allow 1 to 3 working days with the courier; you get tracking by email. Postage to the UK mainland is £7.95 per basket, not per item, and free when your goods total £100 or more.
Could the Danger Buried Cables sign say something different, or carry our logo?
This one is printed exactly as shown, but a version with your own wording is possible. Tell us the text you want in place of "Danger Buried Cables", plus any logo or site details. Send the details through the question box on this page or the Contact page, and we will quote it.
Asked by buyers
How cheaply can I get hold of the Danger Buried Cables Sign?
Picked the way the page first loads, with A4 (210 × 297 mm) and self-adhesive vinyl, the Danger Buried Cables Sign comes to £5.02. Any other mix of options, a faster turnaround included, gets its own price the moment you choose it, and that figure is what you pay at checkout. Only delivery is left to add. On its own the opening price of £5.02 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.
Which turnaround speeds can I choose for the Danger Buried Cables Sign?
Allow 6 working days on Saver, 4 on Standard or 2 on Express before the Danger Buried Cables Sign is handed to the courier, based on the options the page opens with.

Which size of the Danger Buried Cables Sign can people read from further away?
Rough reading distances for "Danger Buried Cables": about 8 m for A4, 12 m for A3, 17 m for A2 or 24 m for A1. The rule of thumb behind them: each 25 mm of height buys roughly one metre of distance. If the light is poor, or people pass quickly on foot or at the wheel, go for the next size up. The figures use the distance factor from ISO 3864-1, and your own risk assessment should settle the final choice. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all.
Which sizes can the Danger Buried Cables Sign be printed in?

On its opening option, Danger Buried Cables Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.
Where is the best spot for a Danger Buried Cables Sign?
Picture someone arriving at a plant room, a meter cupboard or the stage area of a community theatre who needs to see "Danger Buried Cables". Fix it on the cabinet, cupboard door or piece of kit where the danger actually sits. Give it decent light and a clear line of sight, with nothing parked, stacked or swinging open in front of it. Keep a short list of where each sign went: it slots into your risk assessment records and makes the odd walk-round check quick. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.
What message is a Danger Buried Cables Sign giving?
Start with the symbol on "Danger Buried Cables". W012 is the ISO 7010 pictogram for electricity, so even someone without much English gets the gist at a glance. The design follows the danger sign pattern, used to mark out a serious hazard. That colour and shape code is laid down by the 1996 Safety Signs and Signals Regulations. Typical spots: a plant room, a meter cupboard or the stage area of a community theatre.
And the largest sign, A1 (594 × 841 mm): how much is that one?
From £15.12, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Material by material, it is 3mm Foamex at £63.13, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £88.40 and self-adhesive vinyl at £15.12.

Add £7.95 for UK mainland delivery, or nothing at all once the goods reach £100. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. On its opening option, Danger Buried Cables Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.
Can I mix different safety signs in a single order?
You can. Each sign gets a separate basket line, with whatever size and board suit it, and you pay once at the end. Delivery is charged per order, not per sign: £7.95 to the UK mainland, or free once the goods come to £100 or more. For "Danger Buried Cables" the sizes are A4, A3, A2 and A1. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02.
Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?
No surprises: what the page shows for this sign is the goods figure you pay at checkout. Delivery is the one extra, £7.95 to a UK mainland address, and it drops away when the goods reach £100 after discounts. Paid artwork help shows up as its own basket line, so you can check each amount before paying. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On this page, Danger Buried Cables Sign starts from £5.02.
I am not a business. Can I buy just one sign?
Of course. Anyone can order, with no trade account and no minimum beyond one. Prices for the Danger Buried Cables Sign begin at £5.02, checkout works without an account and you pay by card. Parents, clubs, churches and small shops order single items all the time. On its own the opening price of £5.02 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.
Our event is close. Can the Danger Buried Cables Sign be rushed?
Yes. Choose Express and the Danger Buried Cables Sign can be on the way in 2 working days on the opening option, for £6.68, where Saver is £5.02 and takes 6 days. Then give the courier one to three working days, and send the artwork with the order, because the clock does not run until the file is sorted. If the date is really tight, message us on the Contact page before paying and we will tell you honestly.
How many pixels does a photo need to print well on this sign?
Close-up items need about 300 dpi at full size. So an A1 (594 × 841 mm) layout wants about 7,016 by 9,933 pixels. Keep lettering and logos as vectors if you can. An image copied off a web page or a social post rarely has enough pixels; if yours looks likely to print soft, our file check flags it. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On its opening option, Danger Buried Cables Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.
Will anyone look at my file before it is printed?
Yes, a real person on our team opens every uploaded file and checks the size, the bleed and the resolution. If something is off, you hear from us before anything is made. We print what you send, though, so read the spelling, numbers and dates yourself as well. Making starts when the order and the file are both confirmed. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm). Material choices for Danger Buried Cables Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.
Someone else is putting our file together. How does it reach you?
Easiest route: they send the finished file to whoever placed the order, and it gets uploaded after ordering. Up to 3 files of 25 MB each are fine. They can also reach us through the Contact page, as long as they quote your order number so it lands on the right job. Production waits for the checked file, so a late file means a later dispatch date. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. On its opening option, Danger Buried Cables Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.
Can the wording on a Danger Buried Cables Sign be changed, or our logo added?
Yes. To reword "Danger Buried Cables" or add a logo, pick the typesetting option (£15) for your text and logo on a clean layout, or the design-from-your-brief option (£35), then send us the details. Both paid options include one first draft and two rounds of changes. Uploading your own print-ready file costs nothing, and someone on our team looks it over before printing. Leave the safety symbol and its colours untouched, though: altering them makes the meaning less clear. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm).
What thickness is the Danger Buried Cables Sign, and does it feel sturdy?
Three millimetres, whichever board you go for. Pick self-adhesive vinyl instead and you get a thin film that lies flat against whatever you stick it to. Dibond feels stiff because a plastic core is sandwiched between two thin aluminium sheets, yet it is still simple to screw or stick up. Foamex is foamed PVC, so it weighs very little in the hand. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. For reference, Danger Buried Cables Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).
Does the Danger Buried Cables Sign come in a peel-and-stick version?
It does. Pick self-adhesive vinyl from the material list and it comes as a peel-off sticker. That is handy on a glass shop door, a classroom cupboard, a machine or a smooth painted wall, anywhere screwing a board up would be awkward. Wipe the spot, let it dry, then press it down from the centre outwards to push the air away. On rough brick or dusty surfaces, a board will hold better. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Material choices for Danger Buried Cables Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.
We are putting up a full set of signs at our premises. Which ones sit well next to this one?
A school corridor, a shop floor or a club house rarely needs just one notice. Two that often go up beside this one: Danger 240 Volts Sign and Danger 400 Volts Sign. Keep every sign in one board type so the set matches, look up sizes and prices on each page, then check out once: one delivery charge for the whole basket, free over £100 of goods. You will also find this sign in our Electricians section.
I work with electricians. Is this sign something we could use?
Yes: the Danger Buried Cables Sign sits in our Electricians section, next to other things electricians buy for rewires, testing and inspections. Prices begin at £5.02. 4 sizes are listed, starting at A4 (210 × 297 mm). The material choices are self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Also in that section: Voltage Warning Labels and Caution 240 Volts Sign. One basket can hold the lot, and delivery is free once the goods reach £100.
Will a Danger Buried Cables Sign cope with rain and wind outdoors?
Rain is rarely the problem for "Danger Buried Cables"; sunshine is. Every printed sign fades slowly in strong sun, so make a habit of checking outdoor ones and renew any that have faded too far. Dibond is the board to pick for a permanent outdoor home. Foamex copes with a covered spot but prefers life indoors. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.
It gets dark early in winter. Can people still read the Danger Buried Cables Sign in the evening?
Not in pitch darkness. Pick Foamex, Dibond or vinyl sticker and it is the same story: nothing on this page reflects headlights or glows by itself. Fix it where a street light, porch light or security lamp already shines, or fit a small light above it. Where a risk assessment asks for photoluminescent or reflective signs, those need to come from a specialist maker rather than from us. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On this page, Danger Buried Cables Sign starts from £5.02.
What is the easiest way to put up a Danger Buried Cables Sign?
To mount "Danger Buried Cables" on a wall, drill a hole near each corner of the board and screw it on with a washer under each head; stop once it feels snug, as Foamex in particular does not like being overtightened. Where drilling is not wanted, say on a painted door or a smooth wall inside, double-sided foam tape or sticky pads hold it well. For a fence, make a hole at each corner and loop cable ties through. The vinyl one needs no tools: peel off the backing and press it on once the surface has been wiped and dried. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.
Does the material change the price of the Danger Buried Cables Sign?
Taking the smallest size, A4 (210 × 297 mm), as the example: self-adhesive vinyl at £5.02, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £40.79 and 3mm Foamex at £27.79. 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 £5.02. On its opening option, Danger Buried Cables Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.
Do we legally have to display a Danger Buried Cables Sign?
Your risk assessment answers that one for "Danger Buried Cables". Where it shows a risk still remains after other steps, the 1996 Safety Signs and Signals Regulations say an employer must signpost it, and that applies to a cafe with two staff as much as a factory. Signs back up the other measures you take; they are never a substitute for them. The symbol on this sign follows ISO 7010, reference W012.
Our treasurer needs a receipt for the accounts. What do we get?
Keep the order confirmation email we send: it itemises the purchase and the payment, and works as a plain receipt for your records. The total at checkout for this sign is the goods price on the page plus delivery, so the email matches what left the account. Need something more formal for an audit or a grant claim? Message us from the Contact page with your order number. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On its opening option, Danger Buried Cables Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.
I am ordering this sign for a school or charity. Do I need to open an account?
No account is needed. Guest checkout lets a parent, volunteer or club secretary order once and pay by debit or credit card through Stripe. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout, and the confirmation email you receive lists the items and the amount paid for your records. If the committee needs a price agreed before anyone pays, the Get a quote page is the better starting point. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. For reference, Danger Buried Cables Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).
Who looks after me once I have bought the Danger Buried Cables Sign?
FatPrint does, from start to finish. We take your order and payment, a person on our team checks your file, and the Danger Buried Cables Sign is made to order for you rather than taken off a shelf. It then goes to you by courier, with tracking sent by email. Questions before or after ordering go through the box on this page or the Contact page, and a person replies.
Do I pay delivery on each item in my basket?
No. One delivery charge covers the whole basket, so adding the Danger Buried Cables Sign to other items does not add a second one. It is £7.95 to a UK mainland address and nothing once the goods total £100 after any discount code. Using the same design on two items? Pick the reuse-artwork option on the second one and you pay the artwork fee just once. Each line keeps its own size and quantity.
Can I send this sign back if I no longer need it?
If it arrives faulty, damaged or not what you ordered, yes: under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 we reprint or refund. A change of mind is different. Each order is made to your specification, and reg. 28(1)(b) of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 takes those goods out of the 14-day right to cancel. Before production starts, though, you can cancel for all your money back. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. On its opening option, Danger Buried Cables Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.
How do I work out how many Danger Buried Cables signs to order?
Picture someone arriving for the first time. Every door they could come through, every approach to the risk and every corner where the route bends is a place for a sign. Large sites and long corridors usually need repeats, with bigger versions where people read from a distance. Put matching signs on a single basket line and raise the quantity; different sizes or materials go on lines of their own. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On this page, Danger Buried Cables Sign starts from £5.02.
I have spotted a typo after paying. Can it be fixed?
Tell us quickly through the Contact page, quoting your order number. Before production starts we can take a corrected file, or cancel and refund the whole order. After that it cannot be changed. A print that matches your finished design or the file you sent is not a fault, so it pays to read every word and number before you order. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. For reference, Danger Buried Cables Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).
The parcel turned up damaged. How do I sort it out?
Take photos of the damage and the box it came in, then send them through the contact form within 48 hours of delivery, with your order number. Hold on to the item rather than posting it back; we reply and arrange a reprint or refund. This sits alongside your legal rights, which the returns page covers. Choose Saver and this sign leaves us after 6 working days; Express brings that down to 2. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. On its opening option, Danger Buried Cables Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.
Bleed and dpi mean nothing to me. Can I still get printing done?
Yes. You do not need any print knowledge to order the Danger Buried Cables Sign. Send us your words and logo with the typesetting option (£15) and we build the layout, then you get a first draft and two rounds of changes. Whatever you choose, a real person looks at the file before printing.
Some of our visitors have poor eyesight. Will this sign be easy for them to read?
Three things help most: strong contrast between the words and the background, a plain bold font, and a size that matches how far away people will be. Our standard safety sign layouts use the high-contrast colour pairings laid down for safety signs. Mount the sign at eye height, where it is well lit and not catching glare, and keep the message short. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm). Material choices for Danger Buried Cables Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.
What if A1 (594 × 841 mm) is still too small for the Danger Buried Cables Sign?
We can still help. Put the size you need, the material and the quantity into the quote request form and we will send a price. For reference, the listed range ends at A1 (594 × 841 mm), and that size costs £15.12 or more. Bear in mind that anything past A0 goes by oversize courier, a one-off £15 on the order. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On its opening option, Danger Buried Cables Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.
The spot gets full sun all afternoon. Could this sign warp in the heat?
Foamex can, Dibond will not. A big, thin Foamex board warms up in direct sun and may bow, especially with fixings only at the corners. Dibond has aluminium faces and keeps its shape, so it is the sensible pick for a long-term outdoor sign. With Foamex, more fixings across a flat wall, or a thicker board, helps it stay straight. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On its opening option, Danger Buried Cables Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.
Can I cut this sign down to size, or drill fixing holes, at home?
Yes, with ordinary tools. For Foamex or Correx, a sharp craft knife and a straight metal edge work: a few light passes, then snap or cut through. Dibond has aluminium skins and needs a fine-toothed saw. Drill slowly with a standard bit and stay at least 10 mm from any edge. Any cutting removes some of the bleed, so plan the layout with that in mind. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. On its opening option, Danger Buried Cables Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.
Could the Danger Buried Cables Sign go on a door, say an office or classroom door?
Start with the position: eye level, on the push side or on the wall next to the frame, so the message is still visible with the door open. For the door itself, choose self-adhesive vinyl, which suits painted doors and glass panels. A 3mm Foamex board on foam tape also sits well on a flat door. On a fire door, get the go-ahead from whoever looks after the building before any screws go in. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. On its opening option, Danger Buried Cables Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.
What is the safest way to clean this sign?
Treat "Danger Buried Cables" gently: a soft cloth and soapy warm water, a rinse, then a dry. Strong cleaners, solvents and scourers can take the shine off the print or lift it, so leave them in the cupboard. Store spares flat, not leaning, to stop them bowing. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

Review Danger Buried Cables Sign
How we handle reviews
Only people who bought the product can review it. Each review is checked against a real order and marked "Verified owner".
We publish every genuine review, good or bad, exactly as it was written. We never edit reviews or choose which ones to show. The only reviews we hold back are spam, abuse, or ones that include personal details like a phone number or email address.
The star rating is the average of every published review. We never pay for reviews or give discounts or gifts in return for them.
Reviews show the reviewer's first name and initial. To have your own review taken down, contact us.
