DANGER - Rock falls Serious risk of injury or death Stay away from the cliffs you remain at risk even in low tide sign

The Danger Rock Falls Serious Risk Of Injury Or Death Stay Away From The Cliffs You Remain At Risk Even In Low Tide DOT 559 Sign is designed to provide a strong and highly visible warning of potentially life threatening rockfall hazards around cliffs and coastal areas. Incorporating the recognised falling rocks warning symbol associated with Diagram 559, the sign clearly communicates both the severity of the danger and the need for visitors to remain well away from cliff faces.

Suitable for beaches, coastal paths, cliff areas, coves, bays, promenades, nature reserves, country parks, quarries and other locations where falling rocks or unstable cliff faces present a significant hazard, this sign can be positioned at beach entrances, access paths, stairways, car parks and other strategic locations before visitors enter the affected area.

Rock falls can occur suddenly and without obvious warning. Coastal erosion, weathering, heavy rainfall, storms, freeze and thaw conditions and natural movement within the rock can cause sections of cliff to become unstable. Falling material can range from small stones to extremely large sections of rock capable of causing serious or fatal injuries.

The clear Serious Risk Of Injury Or Death message emphasises the potentially severe consequences of approaching unstable cliffs. The instruction to Stay Away From The Cliffs provides visitors with a direct action to follow, helping discourage people from walking, sitting, sunbathing or standing beneath areas where falling material could occur.

The additional warning that visitors remain at risk even at low tide is particularly important on beaches where the exposed shoreline may create the impression that areas beneath cliffs are safe to access. Low tide does not remove the danger presented by unstable cliffs, and rock falls can occur regardless of the state of the tide. Clearly communicating this risk helps discourage visitors from using low tide as an opportunity to approach hazardous cliff faces.

The Diagram 559 falling rocks symbol provides a widely recognised visual indication of the hazard and reinforces the accompanying safety message. Combining the graphical warning with clear written instructions makes the sign suitable for busy coastal locations used by residents, tourists, walkers and other visitors who may be unfamiliar with local cliff conditions.

This sign can form part of a wider coastal risk management system alongside barriers, fencing, path closures, exclusion zones and other warning notices. Local authorities, landowners, coastal management organisations and site operators should position signage where it can be clearly seen before people enter known rockfall areas and regularly review its condition and location as coastal conditions change.
