Why wouldn't signs work? Plus everyone can read them with or without headset.
Just like online, people ignore/tune out signs since most are advertising anyway.
Signs do work sometimes, but that doesn't really cover moving vehicles or overhead crane work. I work in a manufacturing plant with millions of square feet of floor space. You wouldn't believe the number of outdated signs there are.
You get forklifts now that project a light fence on the ground.
I think technology can, and should, be used to create visual, audible, and tactile health and safety warnings first and foremost. A heads up display is better used for productivity instead of safety.
