Warning Signs

Warning Signs

Clearly alert to present
or potential dangers.

Warning signs are some of the most common types of signage posted in the workplace. These workplace signs alert people to hazards and convey important information about avoiding or dealing with those hazards.

Floor signs are especially effective at providing hazard warnings because they can be placed right at the locations where people need to be warned of dangerous conditions. You don’t have to settle for posting hazard signs or caution signs on a nearby wall. You can place it directly on the floor. This means people get the information they need exactly where they need it and have time to act appropriately.

Types of Warning Signs

Warning signs exist to alert workers and visitors of a potential hazard, obstacle, or specialized condition that requires specific protocol or special attention. These types of signs employ pictograms, colors, and often a short phrase that alerts passersby of a potentially dangerous encounter.

Colors for Warning Signs

Warning signs always have an orange header. This is an ANSI standard and is OSHA compliant. Aside from the header, the background of the rest of the sign is white while the text is black. It’s simple, yet easy to read for those who come across this signage.

Areas Where Warning Signs Should be Used

Warning signs should be used anywhere where there is a potential hazard that can directly affect human health. Creative Safety Supply’s circular floor signs can include topics such as roadway traffic, construction work, biological hazards, etc.
