GS6 telescopic poles and 25m bunting for overhead hazard warning
This pack contains two GS6 telescopic poles and 25m of red and white pendant bunting, used to mark a height or width restriction ahead of an overhead hazard such as live power lines, a low structure, or a site entrance. The poles are made from non-conductive fibreglass and nylon, extend to 7.3m, and meet HSE guidance note GS6.

HSE GS6
GS6 is the HSE guidance note on avoiding danger from overhead electric power lines and other overhead hazards. Positioning warning poles and bunting ahead of the hazard gives drivers of HGVs, tippers, cranes and other tall vehicles a clear, visible cue to stop or lower their load before reaching it. On most sites with overhead cables or structures, having this warning in place is a legal requirement.

Installation and durability
One person can extend and position both poles in a few minutes, then run the bunting between them to complete the warning line. The fibreglass and nylon construction is non-conductive and built for repeated outdoor use, so the pack can be taken down and redeployed as work moves between sites.
