Is it mandatory to have safety signs on the edge of the reservoir?

The law does not have mandatory provisions, but when a safety accident occurs, the law stipulates that if the reservoir manager fails to set safety signs and warnings, he will bear corresponding responsibilities. This principle of accountability is tantamount to a disguised form of forcing reservoir management to set up safety signs. Because the law also stipulates that if corresponding warning signs are set up, you can be exempted from liability!

Safety warning signs must be installed in four key areas:

1. Water conservancy construction sites:

1. Construction roads. Obvious safety warning signs must be set up at traffic crossings entering the construction site. It is recommended to use first-class safety warning signs at major crossings and second-class safety warning signs at secondary crossings. Construction roads should be set up at a certain distance (generally within 1,000 meters) on both sides. Safety production warning signs.

2. Construction site. Larger construction sites must set up three or more Class II safety warning signs. Safety warning signs must be set up at important locations and sites to prevent accidents caused by falls from heights, injuries to construction vehicles and machinery, and collapse of hoisting machinery and scaffolding. Accidents; deep foundation pits, high slopes, etc. must be equipped with safety protection measures.

2. Reservoirs, seawalls, etc.:

1. Reservoirs and ponds. First-class safety warning signs must be set up on the roads entering the dam and beside them, and second-class safety warning signs must be set up at densely populated areas such as docks and fishing places. Safety warning signs must be set up in important areas beside the road around the reservoir. At the same time, water supply sources and water sources must be set up. Reservoirs, etc. should be equipped with first-class safety warning signs caused by pollution or damage to water supply projects.

2. Seawall. Class II safety warning signs must be set up at road forks entering coastal seawalls, Class I safety warning signs must be set up at important forks, and safety warning signs must be painted or hung at a certain distance along the coastal seawall.

3. Water gate. Class I safety warning signs must be installed at intersections of roads and roads entering large water gates, and Class II safety warning signs must be installed at intersections of roads and highways entering general water gates; safety warning signs must be painted or hung outside water gate buildings.

3. Rivers and ponds:

1. Class II safety devices must be installed along the main rivers (provincial and municipal levels) where there are villages or river crossings where people wash daily. Warning signs.

2. Safety warning signs should be set up at general river dredging construction sites.

3. Safety warning signs should be set up along the river in places where river sand mining causes river accumulation or sudden changes in river topography.

4. Class II safety warning signs should be set up around the pond.

IV. Hydropower station projects:

1. Class I safety warning signs must be set up on roads, highways, etc. entering the hydropower station building.

2. Class II safety warning signs must be installed at the water intake of the power station.

3. Safety warning signs should be added to other dangerous areas and parts of the power station.
