Baustellenbeschilderung

Baustellenbeschilderung, or construction site signage, refers to the system of signs placed on and around building sites to communicate hazards, access rules, and project information. Its purpose is to convey safety-related messages clearly to workers and the public and to provide important contact and emergency details.

Its primary purpose is to protect workers and the public by warning of risks, guiding authorized personnel, and providing essential contact and emergency information.

Typical signs include warning signs for hazards such as electrical danger or falling objects; prohibition signs restricting entry; mandatory signs requiring PPE; and information signs displaying the project name, contractor, site manager, and first aid location.

Signage standards often align with national and European regulations, such as DIN EN ISO 7010 safety signs, which use standardized pictograms. Signs should be legible, durable, weather resistant, and placed at appropriate heights and distances, with multilingual versions used where needed.

Effective Baustellenbeschilderung is planned and maintained as part of site management, with a signage plan updated as work progresses and conditions change. Signs are removed or replaced after project completion.
