Residential, Commercial, Demolition and Site Safety Signs

Construction or repair work on the construction site can be hazardous to both workers and passersby. Accidents can occur as a result of a variety of factors such as loose gravel, heavy machinery, uneven pavements, newly oiled roads, and others. Roadside construction might also disrupt traffic flow, increasing the likelihood of car accidents. This is why there is a work-in-progress sign at every construction or road work site. Signs New York is an experienced manufacturer of local Work In Progress signs.

What Are Work In Progress Signs?

There are both standard and non-traditional WIP signs that a company may place on a property. Some signs are required by the NYC DOB to notify others of projects on the premises. Some act more as a “what’s going on sign” in NY, where the purpose of the sign is to simply notify – or excite – others about new projects on the property.

Types Of Work In Progress Signs

You are required to have a sign that has a rendering of the building exterior, information on what the project is for (Commercial, Residential, etc.), the contact information of the owner of the property, the contact information of the general contractor, and specific language and phrases on each sign, such as the number to call to report unsafe conditions.

How WIP Signs Are Used?

Examples of these types of signs include:
  • NYC Department of Building Signs

The most common WIP sign is the one required by the DOB for most construction site projects. These sites are expected to have an information panel sign that indicate the type of project, the owner, the contractor information, and a rendering of the final design. These all have specific requirements that must be met.

  • Warning Signs

Sometimes, these work signs are meant as warnings. They are there to indicate that work is being performed, and that anyone on the property should be careful of traveling through. These types of warning signs may have specific requirements as well, although traditionally they are just an explanation for loud noises and other inconveniences.

  • Safety

A Work in Progress sign is a type of sign that helps encourages a safe environment, because it tells people walking by that they are nearing an active work zone. A construction fence alone can’t do this, as there may not have been work done behind it in months or even years. But the presence of safety signage makes pedestrians aware that construction or demolition is currently underway. That gives these signs a minor yet crucial role in successful, diligent, and best practices safety precautions.

  • Information

Some types of Work in Progress signs also contain several pieces of information that are important for both commercial and legal reasons. They often contain information about what is happening in that area, and who to contact should there be a problem. They will also introduce a name, and often a rendering of the finished product, for the project being completed.

  • Notifications

Work in Progress signs also give notifications that may be necessary for visitors about to enter the work site or an adjacent area. For example, they may notify them of a hard hat area, or a recent store closing. They may even include signs warning passers-by of a pending demolition.

Although “Work in Progress” signage does have a specific meaning in contractor circles, there are different forms available for any business that requires scaffolding signs or other types of WIP signage.
