Product details
Mark an identified high-voltage hazard
Use the sign only where the site's electrical risk assessment and procedures identify HIGH VOLTAGE as the required warning message. Place it on or near the verified equipment, enclosure, room or approach and keep the full triangle, lightning symbol and legend visible before exposure.
Confirm the warning format is the right message
This exact yellow-and-black artwork has no DANGER header, KEEP OUT instruction or stated voltage. A competent person should confirm whether this warning-format sign, a danger-format sign, an access-restriction message or additional electrical labels are required. Do not choose between them by appearance alone.
Select the material and portrait size
Polypropylene is the default rigid option. Vinyl suits a prepared smooth surface, Corflute suits temporary placement, and Colorbond steel provides a stronger mechanically fixed face. Choose from 225 × 300 mm, 300 × 450 mm, 450 × 600 mm or 600 × 900 mm using the actual approach, lighting, obstructions and project specification.
Position the warning before exposure
Keep the face visible on the normal approach without covering rating plates, arc-flash labels, controls, locks, vents or instructions. The sign does not isolate, test, earth, guard or restrict access to electrical equipment, so retain every control selected by the electrical risk assessment and safe-work procedure.
Check the sign format before ordering
This is a printed warning-format sign only. It does not determine the correct safety-sign category, identify the voltage, isolate or de-energise equipment, test, earth, lock out, guard, restrict access or certify the installation. Confirm the site-specific message and controls with the responsible competent people and applicable regulator.

Before ordering
- Confirm that the exact HIGH VOLTAGE warning format is the site-approved message.
- Identify the equipment or area and every normal approach before choosing the sign position.
- Check the real viewing distance, lighting and obstructions when selecting the portrait size and any compatible finish.
- Match the material and fixing method to the surface and exposure without covering equipment labels, controls or ventilation.
- Have the responsible competent person confirm isolation, access control, earthing, procedures, training and jurisdictional requirements separately.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly is printed on this High Voltage sign?
The approved portrait artwork has a yellow field, black double border, black electrical-hazard triangle with a lightning-bolt pictogram, and the exact two-line legend HIGH VOLTAGE. It has no DANGER header, KEEP OUT instruction, voltage value, directional arrow, logo or brand.
How is this different from the Danger High Voltage Keep Out sign?
This PS-WAR023 product is a yellow-and-black warning-format sign containing only HIGH VOLTAGE. The separate PS-ELEC012 product has a DANGER header and an explicit HIGH VOLTAGE KEEP OUT message. A competent person should confirm the sign category and wording required by the site's electrical risk assessment rather than treating the two products as interchangeable.
Where should the High Voltage sign be installed?
Place it at the identified enclosure, room, gate or approach where the complete sign is visible before a person reaches the electrical hazard. Do not cover rating plates, arc-flash labels, switches, locks, vents, access hardware or operating instructions, and have the responsible electrical person confirm the position.
Which material and finish should I choose?
Polypropylene is the default rigid option. Vinyl suits a clean, smooth surface, Corflute suits temporary placement, and Colorbond steel provides a stronger mechanically fixed face. Holes apply only to rigid materials; lamination and reflective options appear only where the selected material is compatible.
Which size should I order?
The portrait sizes are 225 × 300 mm, 300 × 450 mm, 450 × 600 mm and 600 × 900 mm. Choose using the real approach distance, lighting, mounting height, obstructions and site specification; the configurator's viewing guidance is indicative and does not establish compliance.
Does the sign make an electrical installation safe or compliant?
No. This is the printed warning sign only. It does not identify the actual voltage, isolate or de-energise equipment, test for dead, earth conductors, lock out a supply, create an exclusion zone, restrict access, provide barriers or PPE, perform electrical work or certify compliance.
