Warning sign - yellow triangle
Construction signs
Every site needs a few basic signs before work starts: what the site is, where visitors go first, and where vehicles are moving. These printable construction signs cover the front-of-site set: construction site, under construction, site entrance, site office, all visitors report to the site office, beware of site vehicles and welfare facilities. Print them on A4 or A3 in portrait or landscape. For hard hats, hi-vis, no entry, mind your head and men at work, use the linked pages below. Printed paper suits a short job, so see the notes on weatherproofing.

Print tips
- Print at "actual size" or 100%, not "fit to page", so the margins stay even.
- Use thicker paper or card (160gsm or more) if the sign will be handled.
- For outdoor or long-term use, laminate it or buy a rigid version.
Where to use it
- Site gates, hoardings and fences
- The entrance to a site cabin or office
- Delivery and plant routes
- Domestic projects such as extensions, where visitors and neighbours need to know who to ask
- Temporary event build and strike areas
Questions
Are these signs enough for a construction site?
No. They identify the site and direct people. A site also needs the signs its own risk assessment calls for, such as PPE, hazard and prohibition signs, and these are on the linked pages.
Can I use them outdoors?
Briefly, if laminated and fixed in a sleeve or to a board. For a job over a few weeks use rigid plastic or vinyl signs, which survive rain and wind.
Which size is best for a site gate?
A3 landscape is a sensible minimum for a gate or hoarding. Use A4 for cabin doors and internal routes.
Where are the hard hat and hi-vis signs?
On the safety clothing (PPE) signs page. No entry and mind your head are on their own pages too.
