Men Working Above Danger Sign

Description

Overhead work is one of the few site hazards that reaches past your fence line. A dropped fastener from a scaffold or a facade job lands on the public sidewalk, and the first question asked afterward is whether the area below was posted. The Men Working Above sign answers it — the OSHA red-oval danger format, mounted at eye level where pedestrians and workers pass beneath scaffolds, sidewalk sheds, hoist runs, and roof work. It’s a posting inspectors, insurers, and neighboring building managers all expect to see wherever work happens over foot traffic.

We print it at our NYC facility in 12″ × 18″, 18″ × 24″, and 24″ × 36″, on aluminum in 0.40, 0.63, or 0.80 gauge or on 0.60 styrene. The heavier aluminum gauges are the right call for shed columns and scaffold frames that take abuse; the UV- and weather-resistant print keeps the warning sharp for the full run of a long facade contract.

Order by size and material and the signs arrive ready to mount — most crews zip-tie or screw them to shed posts at each approach. Delivery across the five boroughs and Long Island runs 2–3 business days, with 24-hour rush available on most orders when the scaffold goes up ahead of schedule.

FAQ

Where should Men Working Above signs be mounted?

At every pedestrian approach to the overhead work — shed entrances, scaffold ends, and building entries beneath the work zone — at eye level where they’re read before someone walks under.

How many do I need for a full sidewalk shed?

Plan on one at each end of the shed and at each entrance under it. Order the set together for volume pricing.
