If you cannot eliminate an electrical danger, you are required to warn staff, visitors, or members of the public by using signage. Electricity has the potential to kill, therefore highlighting electrical wires, outlets and / or sources is key to saving lives.

The most common cause of electrical fatality is due to direct contact with overhead cables. If a victim is lucky enough to survive a shock, the consequences from the electricity may result in amputations, bone fractures and orthopaedic and musculoskeletal injuries.

Electrical signs, labels and symbols provide workers and others with important information on electrical hazards and the instructions required to prevent harm.
