Overview

Our danger construction site sign printing starts with one job: the sign puts the information right where people are looking for it. It earns its place in public buildings, warehouses, shops and offices.

Putting it up

At eye height, right where people have to act on it. Put the board at the site entrance where every visitor has to pass it.

The right size for danger construction site 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 A1 to about 24 m, 700 x 1000 to about 28 m and A0 to about 34 m. Anything read from a distance or a moving vehicle wants the larger sizes.

What the sign says

It reads "Danger Construction Site". White board, strong coloured header: the layout people expect to see at a site gate. DANGER is kept for hazards that could kill or seriously hurt someone.

Danger construction site sign printing: which material

There is a board for each kind of spot in our danger construction site sign printing range:

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

Short job, Correx. Indoors, Foamex. Long job outdoors, Dibond.

One board with all the site rules saves a row of separate signs on the gate.

The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 expect the site rules and hazards to reach everyone on site, visitors included. A single board at the gate does that in one go.

Send a print-ready PDF, build it in the online designer, or pay for our artwork service (you get 1 design and 2 rounds of changes). Whichever you pick, a person checks the file before it prints. Each danger construction site sign printing job is printed to order and sent out from the UK. Postage is £7.95 to the UK mainland and free over £100, worked out after discounts and not counting artwork fees. Mainland Highlands postcodes add £10; Northern Ireland, the islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, Scilly and the Isle of Wight are quoted. Full details are on the delivery page.

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
A1 (594 × 841 mm)24 m
700 × 1000 mm28 m
A0 (841 × 1189 mm)34 m

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

Questions

Quick answers about danger construction site sign printing.

What size do I need so people can read "Danger Construction Site"?

Go by reading distance rather than wall space. In normal light, A1 (594 × 841 mm) covers 24 m, 700 × 1000 mm covers 28 m and A0 (841 × 1189 mm) covers 34 m. Choose one size up if people pass quickly or the area is poorly lit.

Has ISO 7010 got a symbol for "Danger Construction Site"?

No, ISO 7010 has no pictogram for this exact message. So the sign is words only, set in the usual site board header layout.

Where should the "Danger Construction Site" message go so people act on it?

The right place is on the hoarding or fence at the main site gate, at eye level for people arriving. Check nothing will stand in front of it, like open doors, stacked stock or parked vans.

Am I legally required to display "Danger Construction Site"?

The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 expect site rules and hazards to reach everyone on site, visitors included. One board at the gate carrying several messages does that in a single place. Your risk assessment is what decides the exact positions.

Could the Danger Construction Site sign say something different, or carry our logo?

Yes, we can make it as a custom job. Tell us the text you want in place of "Danger Construction Site", or send your logo. Use the question box on this page, or the Get a quote page for a bigger job.

How soon will the Danger Construction Site sign reach me?

Standard takes 3 working days to make, or Express 2 working days. The courier then needs 1 to 3 working days, and the tracking link comes by email. Goods worth £100 or more travel free to a UK mainland address; below that, delivery is a flat £7.95 for the whole order.

Dibond, Correx or Foamex: which is right?

For a temporary job, Correx is the lowest cost and still light and waterproof. For a sign that stays outdoors long term, Dibond aluminium composite is the one. Keep Foamex for sheltered places.

Asked by buyers

How much will the Danger Construction Site Sign set me back?

£51.39 is where the Danger Construction Site Sign starts, set up as A1 (594 × 841 mm) and 3.5mm Correx on the Saver speed. Change the size, material, extras, quantity or speed and the total on the page moves straight away. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout, with delivery the only thing that can be added. Delivery anywhere on the UK mainland is £7.95 an order, and it costs nothing once the goods come to £100 or more after any discount code (design and artwork fees are not counted).

Is delivery ever free?

It is £7.95 for the whole order, not per item, and free once the goods reach £100 after any discount code; design or artwork charges are left out of that £100. On its own the opening price of £51.39 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero. A mainland Highlands postcode puts a single £10 on the order. Northern Ireland has its delivery priced before you pay, and so do the Channel Islands, the Scottish islands, Scilly, the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man. Before delivery, this site board costs from £51.39. On this page, Danger Construction Site Sign starts from £51.39.

If I buy the Danger Construction Site Sign today, when will it leave you?

As the page first opens, the speeds for the Danger Construction Site Sign are Express 2 working days, Standard 3 and Saver 5, counting Monday to Friday and skipping bank holidays. The count begins once we have your order and a file ready to print. A bigger size or a different material can move it by a day either way; each speed shows its own days as you choose. Tracking arrives by email on the day it ships, and the courier usually takes one to three working days from there.

How do I choose between the board options for the Danger Construction Site Sign?

Start with where "Danger Construction Site" will live. The choices are 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite and 3.5mm Correx. Outdoors for years: Dibond, an aluminium composite that stays flat and weatherproof. Indoors, in a shop window or under cover: Foamex, a light and smooth foamed PVC, with the thicker sheets holding their shape better on big boards. A few weeks outside: Correx, a light and waterproof fluted polypropylene at the lowest price.

Which is the smallest and which the biggest site board I can order here?

Smallest: A1 (594 × 841 mm), from £51.39. Biggest: A0 (841 × 1189 mm), from £85.17. One more is listed in between, and every figure is for the cheapest options. Not sure which? Mark the space out with tape or string first and stand back to look. Sizes for this site board go from A1 (594 × 841 mm) at the small end to A0 (841 × 1189 mm), 3 in all.

Can I leave this site board outside?

That depends on the board you pick for "Danger Construction Site". Dibond: yes, for the long term. Correx: yes, for temporary jobs, as it is waterproof. Foamex: indoors or in a sheltered spot, because weather and full sun can make it bow. Whatever the board, strong sun fades print slowly, so a long-term sign lasts better out of full sun. For this site board, the material can be 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3.5mm Correx.

Where is the best spot to put up the Danger Construction Site Sign?

Count the entrances first: every one of them should have its own board. At each, mount it facing people as they arrive and high enough to read without stepping onto the site. Attach it to the hoarding, gate or Heras fencing so it stays put in a strong wind. For this site board, the material can be 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3.5mm Correx. Before delivery, this site board costs from £51.39.

How do people usually fix up this site board?

Mounting "Danger Construction Site" starts with a hole near each corner, then screws or cable ties. Correx usually goes onto a fence with cable ties, or onto stakes; a tie threaded through the flutes grips well. For smooth indoor walls you would rather not drill, foam tape or adhesive pads do the job. For this site board, the material can be 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3.5mm Correx.

What information should a board like the Danger Construction Site Sign give people arriving on site?

It tells anyone walking in what the site expects of them: which PPE to put on, where to sign in, and which hazards and banned activities apply. Under the CDM Regulations 2015, workers and visitors should get clear information, and a board by the gate is the normal way to give it. Read the wording against your own site rules and risk assessment before ordering. Word for word, this site board says "Danger Construction Site".

How much for the biggest size, A0 (841 × 1189 mm)?

From £85.17, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Material by material, it is 3.5mm Correx at £85.17, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £135.35 and 3mm Foamex at £98.13. 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. Sizes for this site board go from A1 (594 × 841 mm) at the small end to A0 (841 × 1189 mm), 3 in all. Material choices for Danger Construction Site Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

Can a private person buy a single site board?

Yes. One is enough, and you do not need a business name or an account to check out. The opening price is £51.39, and any bank card will do. On its own the opening price of £51.39 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. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each site board is made to order for you. On this page, Danger Construction Site Sign starts from £51.39.

I need several site boards, some in different sizes. How do I buy them?

Set up the first size, type how many you need next to Add to basket, then go back and set up the next size as another line. Every price you see is for one site board, and the quantity box does the multiplying. Paying for artwork? It is charged once per line, not per item, and the option to reuse artwork from another basket item adds no second fee. For big numbers, ask on our Get a quote page. Before delivery, this site board costs from £51.39.

Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?

The only thing that can join the goods price is delivery; the price you see is the price you pay at checkout. Delivery anywhere on the UK mainland is £7.95 an order, and it costs nothing once the goods come to £100 or more after any discount code (design and artwork fees are not counted). If you pick a paid design option, it sits in the basket as a separate line with its own fee, so every penny is listed before you pay. Sizes for this site board go from A1 (594 × 841 mm) at the small end to A0 (841 × 1189 mm), 3 in all.

How much does a 700 × 1000 mm site board cost?

From £77.03, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Material by material, it is 3.5mm Correx at £77.03, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £117.85 and 3mm Foamex at £86.03. 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 site board is made to order for you. For reference, Danger Construction Site Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A1 (594 × 841 mm).

Is there a quicker turnaround for this site board?

Work back from the day you need it. Express takes 2 working days to get the Danger Construction Site Sign out, against 5 on Saver, and costs £68.52 on the opening option rather than £51.39. Add up to three working days for the courier, plus any time you need to finish the file. Cutting it fine? Put your date in the question box before you order.

I live in the Scottish Highlands. Will the Danger Construction Site Sign cost more to send?

The whole UK is covered. Outside it, sadly, we cannot deliver. Mainland addresses in the Highlands pay one extra £10 on the order, even when delivery would otherwise be free. For Northern Ireland, and for the Channel Islands, the Scottish islands, Scilly, the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man, we tell you the delivery cost before you pay, so message us your postcode on the Contact page or our Get a quote page. Choose Saver and this site board leaves us after 5 working days; Express brings that down to 2. Before delivery, this site board costs from £51.39. On this page, Danger Construction Site Sign starts from £51.39.

I am not a designer. What if the file I send turns out to be unusable?

You will not be left guessing. Each uploaded file is opened and looked over by a member of the team, and problems such as low-resolution pictures, no bleed or the wrong page size are sent back to you to fix before printing. If fixing it sounds like a chore, choose typesetting for £15: we lay out your text and logo, show you a first draft, then make up to two rounds of changes. For this site board, the material can be 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3.5mm Correx. Sizes for this site board go from A1 (594 × 841 mm) at the small end to A0 (841 × 1189 mm), 3 in all.

Our wording is not finished yet. Can I still pay now and send it later?

Yes. Pay now and add the file afterwards: uploading after ordering is allowed, so you do not have to wait for the final version. If a volunteer, friend or designer is preparing it, they can send the finished file to you to upload, or get in touch through our Contact page quoting your order number. Nothing goes to print until the file arrives and has been checked, so if there is a date to hit, get the artwork over as soon as you can. Make the artwork for this site board the same size as the one you order, such as A1 (594 × 841 mm). For this site board, the material can be 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3.5mm Correx.

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

Roughly 3,311 pixels across and 4,681 down for an A0 (841 × 1189 mm) design, which is 100 dpi. That is plenty for something people read from a few metres away; anywhere from 100 to 150 dpi at full size will do. 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. Sizes for this site board go from A1 (594 × 841 mm) at the small end to A0 (841 × 1189 mm), 3 in all. Material choices for Danger Construction Site Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

Will anyone look at my file before it is printed?

Every file gets a human check for size, bleed and resolution, and we contact you about any problem before printing. Nobody can know your details better than you, so double-check names, numbers and dates: we print what is supplied, and work begins once the order and file are confirmed. Make the artwork for this site board the same size as the one you order, such as A1 (594 × 841 mm).

What thickness is the Danger Construction Site Sign, and does it feel sturdy?

For a rigid sign, the board sets the thickness: Correx at 3.5 mm, Dibond at 3 mm and Foamex 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 site board, the material can be 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3.5mm Correx. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each site board is made to order for you. On its opening option, Danger Construction Site Sign leaves us after 5 working days on Saver.

Would the Danger Construction Site Sign be useful for builders and contractors?

For sites, extensions and renovations, look under Builders & Construction in the shop: the Danger Construction Site Sign is listed there. Prices begin at £51.39; 3 sizes are listed, starting at A1 (594 × 841 mm); the material choices are 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3.5mm Correx. People buying for that kind of work often add Danger Overhead Crane Sign or Mind Your Step Sign. Put everything in one order and delivery is free at £100 or more.

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 Site Safety Rules Sign and 8 Message Site Safety Board. 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. You will also find this site board in our Builders & Construction section.

Which material is cheapest for the Danger Construction Site Sign?

Taking the smallest size, A1 (594 × 841 mm), as the example: 3mm Foamex at £71.71, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £83.74 and 3.5mm Correx at £51.39. 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 site board costs from £51.39. Material choices for Danger Construction Site Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

Who looks after me once I have bought the Danger Construction Site Sign?

You deal with FatPrint the whole way through. Once you order, somebody checks the artwork, the Danger Construction Site Sign is printed specially for your order, and a courier delivers it with a tracking link by email. Need to ask something along the way? Use the question box here or the Contact page and a real person answers.

I am not sure which options to pick for this site board. Can someone advise me?

Of course. Tell us three things: where this site board will go, whether it is for one day or for years, and your deadline. Send that through the question box on this page or the Contact page, and a member of the team will suggest options. If what you need is outside the options listed, the Get a quote page lets you describe it and get a price. Sizes for this site board go from A1 (594 × 841 mm) at the small end to A0 (841 × 1189 mm), 3 in all. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each site board is made to order for you.

Which cards do you take, and is paying online safe?

You pay by debit or credit card when you check out, and you can do it as a guest without making an account. Card details are handled by Stripe, a specialist payment company, so the full card number never reaches us or sits on our system. Printing starts after payment goes through and your file has been checked. If your group needs a price agreed before anyone pays, ask for a quote instead. Before delivery, this site board costs from £51.39. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each site board is made to order for you.

Next year we will want the same site board again. Is reordering easy?

Yes. Treat it as a fresh order of the same item with the same settings, and attach the file you used last time. Keep a copy of the print file in a shared folder so whoever orders next year can find it. Change any details that have moved on, such as a new email address or this year's date, before uploading. Sizes for this site board go from A1 (594 × 841 mm) at the small end to A0 (841 × 1189 mm), 3 in all. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each site board is made to order for you.

Can a volunteer order without setting up an account?

Yes. There is a guest checkout, so a one-off order does not need a login. Payment is by debit or credit card, processed by Stripe. The confirmation email that follows lists everything bought and what was paid, which helps when you claim the money back from the group. What the page shows is what the group pays, plus any delivery. Sizes for this site board go from A1 (594 × 841 mm) at the small end to A0 (841 × 1189 mm), 3 in all. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each site board is made to order for you.

We need a few different designs. Do they each need their own order?

One checkout covers the lot. Add a basket line for every design, attach the right file to each, then pay once. You pay a single delivery charge of £7.95 for the whole order, or nothing if the goods add up to £100 or more. Repeating one design on another line? Choose the artwork choice that points to a file already in the basket, and no second design fee is charged. Before delivery, this site board costs from £51.39. Sizes for this site board go from A1 (594 × 841 mm) at the small end to A0 (841 × 1189 mm), 3 in all.

Can I send this site board back if I no longer need it?

Not for a change of mind. This site board is made for your order, and goods made to your specification fall outside the 14-day cancellation right (reg. 28(1)(b) of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). You can still cancel and get all your money back before production begins. Anything faulty, damaged or wrong is covered by the Consumer Rights Act 2015, and we reprint it or refund you. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each site board is made to order for you. Before delivery, this site board costs from £51.39.

Do I have to register before I can buy?

No. Guest checkout is fine, and card payments go through Stripe, so a debit card or a credit card both work. If you choose to open an account while checking out, My Account keeps your past orders. Guest or not, you get an email confirming the order and another with tracking once it is sent. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each site board is made to order for you. Before delivery, this site board costs from £51.39.

Can I swap my file once I have paid?

It depends on timing. Until production begins, a new file can replace the old one, or the order can be cancelled with a full refund; once it has begun, nothing can be changed. Message us straight away on the Contact page with your order number. Items printed exactly as supplied or designed do not count as faulty, so check names, numbers and dates first. Before delivery, this site board costs from £51.39.

Our club needs a big batch of site boards, or an odd size. Can you price it?

Our Get a quote page is the place, and it also handles delivery to Northern Ireland and the islands. For anything the page cannot do, tell us the size, number, material, date and postcode on Get a quote, add a file if you have one, and we email a price back. Sizes for this site board go from A1 (594 × 841 mm) at the small end to A0 (841 × 1189 mm), 3 in all.

Can I buy the Danger Construction Site Sign and other products in the same basket?

Yes. Different products, sizes and quantities can all sit in one basket, each as its own line with its own options. Delivery is charged once for the whole order, £7.95 to the UK mainland, and it is free when the goods reach £100 after discount codes. If two items share a design, choose the option to reuse artwork from another basket item and there is no second artwork fee. Before delivery, this site board costs from £51.39.

The parcel turned up damaged. How do I sort it out?

Look everything over when it arrives. If something is damaged or missing, contact us within 48 hours through the contact form, with your order number and photos of both the item and the packaging. Please keep hold of it until we reply; we then sort out a reprint or a refund. Your legal rights stay the same, as the returns page sets out. Before delivery, this site board costs from £51.39. Choose Saver and this site board leaves us after 5 working days; Express brings that down to 2. For reference, Danger Construction Site Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A1 (594 × 841 mm).

I have never ordered printing before. Do I need to know the technical words?

No. A person on our team checks every file for size, bleed and resolution and tells you in plain words if anything needs changing. Or pick typesetting for £15 and we lay out your words and logo for you, with a first draft and two rounds of changes. Make the artwork for this site board the same size as the one you order, such as A1 (594 × 841 mm). For this site board, the material can be 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3.5mm Correx.

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. For this site board, the material can be 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3.5mm Correx. Sizes for this site board go from A1 (594 × 841 mm) at the small end to A0 (841 × 1189 mm), 3 in all. On its opening option, Danger Construction Site Sign leaves us after 5 working days on Saver.

Can the Danger Construction Site Sign carry wording in two languages, for example English and Welsh?

A community centre or a surgery often wants every visitor to understand a notice, and this sign can do that. Tick typesetting for £15, then give us your wording in each language, already translated, since translation is not something we do. You get one first draft and two rounds of changes. Keep the same symbol and sign colours so nobody misreads it. For this site board, the material can be 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3.5mm Correx.

What is the safest way to clean this site board?

For "Danger Construction Site", warm water with a drop of washing-up liquid and a soft cloth, then rinse and dry. Avoid solvents, scouring pads and harsh cleaning products, as they can dull the print or lift it. Keep any spare boards lying flat to stop them bowing. For this site board, the material can be 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3.5mm Correx.
