Overview
This danger sign warns that something could drop from overhead. Typical homes for it are loading areas, work at height, cranes and scaffolds. Our danger overhead hazard sign printing is made to order in the size and board you choose.
The message
It reads "Danger Overhead Hazard". 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 W015 symbol (overhead load).
Where it goes
At the edge of the no-go zone under the work. Repeat the key signs along the hoarding so they can be seen from every approach, not just the main gate.
Sizing your danger overhead hazard sign printing comes down to 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.
Danger overhead hazard sign printing: which material
Our danger overhead hazard sign printing comes on three kinds of board:
- 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.
| Size | Readable 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 danger overhead hazard sign printing.
How big should the Danger Overhead Hazard sign be?
Think about the furthest point someone needs to read it from. For "Danger Overhead Hazard", A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) for readers up to 12 m away, A2 landscape (594 × 420 mm) for readers up to 17 m away and A1 landscape (841 × 594 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: W015, Overhead load. The "Danger Overhead Hazard" text sits alongside it, and the pictogram is taken from public domain artwork.
Where is the best place to put the "Danger Overhead Hazard" sign?
Put it at the edge of the exclusion zone underneath the work. Fix it where it will not be hidden by doors, deliveries or vehicles.
Am I legally required to display "Danger Overhead Hazard"?
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. Where signs go is set by your own risk assessment.
Could the Danger Overhead Hazard 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 Overhead Hazard", 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 Overhead Hazard 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 Overhead Hazard Sign set me back?
£27.52 is where the Danger Overhead Hazard Sign starts, set up as A3 landscape (420 × 297 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 £27.52 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 sign costs from £27.52. On this page, Danger Overhead Hazard Sign starts from £27.52.
If I buy the Danger Overhead Hazard Sign today, when will it leave you?
As the page first opens, the speeds for the Danger Overhead Hazard 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.
I cannot design at all. Can someone make the artwork for me?
Yes. When you choose the Artwork option you can pick from: send your own finished file (no charge), we set your words and logo on a tidy layout, called typesetting (£15), we design it from your brief (£35), we redraw a blurry or low quality logo as sharp vector art (£30) or we create a brand new logo (£50). Each fee is fixed, sits as its own line in your basket and covers every item on that line. Typesetting and design from a brief each come with one first draft and two rounds of changes. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all.
Which sizes can the Danger Overhead Hazard Sign be printed in?
Smallest: A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm), from £27.52. Biggest: A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), from £54.24. 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 sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all. For reference, Danger Overhead Hazard Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).
How big does our Danger Overhead Hazard Sign have to be to read across a room or yard?
Stand where someone first needs to read "Danger Overhead Hazard" and pace out the gap to where it will hang. 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 Danger Overhead Hazard Sign?
Three things to get right with "Danger Overhead Hazard". Position: by the way in and right where the hazard begins, so nobody can reach the risk without walking past it. Visibility: good lighting, and no vans, doors or boxes hiding it. Upkeep: note the location with your risk assessment paperwork, then look now and again to make sure it is still there and legible. 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 Danger Overhead Hazard Sign?
Its job is to mark out a serious hazard: "Danger Overhead Hazard" is laid out as a danger sign. The picture is W015 from ISO 7010 (overhead load), 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.
And the largest sign, A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm): how much is that one?
From £54.24, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Material by material, it is 3.5mm Correx at £54.24, 3mm Foamex at £63.13 and 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £88.40. 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 Overhead Hazard Sign leaves us after 5 working days on Saver.
Can a private person buy a single sign?
Yes. One is enough, and you do not need a business name or an account to check out. The opening price is £27.52, and any bank card will do. On its own the opening price of £27.52 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. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all. On this page, Danger Overhead Hazard Sign starts from £27.52.
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; "Danger Overhead Hazard" comes in A3 landscape, A2 landscape and A1 landscape. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all.
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. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52. For reference, Danger Overhead Hazard Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).
Could you price an A2 landscape (594 × 420 mm) sign for me?
From £36.41, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Material by material, it is 3.5mm Correx at £36.41, 3mm Foamex at £42.91 and 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £61.17. 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 this page, Danger Overhead Hazard Sign starts from £27.52.
I live in the Scottish Highlands. Will the Danger Overhead Hazard 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 sign leaves us after 5 working days; Express brings that down to 2. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52. On this page, Danger Overhead Hazard Sign starts from £27.52.
Is there a quicker turnaround for this sign?
Work back from the day you need it. Express takes 2 working days to get the Danger Overhead Hazard Sign out, against 5 on Saver, and costs £36.71 on the opening option rather than £27.52. 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.
Can the wording on a Danger Overhead Hazard Sign be changed, or our logo added?
A school can add its crest to "Danger Overhead Hazard", 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. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).
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. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. On its opening option, Danger Overhead Hazard Sign leaves us after 5 working days on Saver.
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. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.
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. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. Material choices for Danger Overhead Hazard 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. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all. Material choices for Danger Overhead Hazard Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 3mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.
What thickness is the Danger Overhead Hazard 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, Danger Overhead Hazard 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 Mind Your Step Sign and Danger Unsafe Structure 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. You will also find this sign in our Builders & Construction section.
Would the Danger Overhead Hazard Sign be useful for builders and contractors?
For sites, extensions and renovations, look under Builders & Construction in the shop: the Danger Overhead Hazard Sign is listed there. Prices begin at £27.52; 3 sizes are listed, starting at A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm); the material choices are 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. People buying for that kind of work often add Mind Your Step Sign or Fire Exit Left Site Banner. Put everything in one order and delivery is free at £100 or more.
It gets dark early in winter. Can people still read the Danger Overhead Hazard 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. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all.
Will a Danger Overhead Hazard Sign cope with rain and wind outdoors?
"Danger Overhead Hazard" 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 Danger Overhead Hazard Sign?
It depends what "Danger Overhead Hazard" 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 Danger Overhead Hazard Sign?
Taking the smallest size, A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm), as the example: 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £47.58, 3mm Foamex at £32.83 and 3.5mm Correx at £27.52. 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 £27.52. Material choices for Danger Overhead Hazard Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 3mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.
Do we legally have to display a Danger Overhead Hazard 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 "Danger Overhead Hazard" 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 W015.
Our club needs a big batch of signs, 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.

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.

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. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all.
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. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52. Material choices for Danger Overhead Hazard Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 3mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.
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. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.
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 sign costs from £27.52. Choose Saver and this sign leaves us after 5 working days; Express brings that down to 2. For reference, Danger Overhead Hazard Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A3 landscape (420 × 297 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 sign the same size as the one you order, such as A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).
What if A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm) is still too small for the Danger Overhead Hazard Sign?
The size list tops out at A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), starting at £54.24. Anything bigger is priced on request: send the size, the material and how many through our quote form. A board over A0 counts as oversize for delivery, which adds £15 to the order once. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all. Material choices for Danger Overhead Hazard Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 3mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.
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. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.
Can I cut this sign down to size, or drill fixing holes, at home?
Foamex and Correx cut cleanly with a sharp craft knife run along a metal rule: score it a few times, then cut or snap along the line. Dibond is aluminium on both faces, so use a fine-tooth saw and take it slowly. Holes for screws or ties can be made with a normal drill bit at low speed; keep each hole 10 mm or more in from the edge. Trimming eats into the bleed area, so leave room in the design if you plan to trim anything off. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. Material choices for Danger Overhead Hazard Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 3mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.
Could the Danger Overhead Hazard 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 Danger Overhead Hazard Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 3mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.
