How to choose the right Hazard Warning Signs

• Assess the main risks on your site, such as wet floors, steps, chemical storage or restricted areas, and select signs to match each hazard.
• Consider where signs will be used most often and choose between freestanding A-frame boards, cones or wall-mounted options to suit the space.
• For busy hotels, restaurants and shopping centres, opt for large, high-contrast graphics that can be seen clearly from a distance.
• Check language and symbols so that messages are easily understood by staff, visitors and contractors of different backgrounds.
• Plan how many signs you need per floor or zone so that cleaning teams always have a sign available when spills occur.
• If signs will be used outdoors or in entrances, choose weather-resistant materials that will not fade or crack quickly.

Care and maintenance

• Wipe down sign surfaces regularly with mild detergent to keep messages clean, legible and hygienic.
• Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals that could scratch or dull the printed graphics over time.
• Inspect hinges, handles and cone bases frequently and replace any damaged signs to maintain safety compliance.
• Store signs neatly in a designated area so staff can access them quickly when spills or cleaning tasks arise.
• Allow signs to dry fully after cleaning before stacking to prevent sticking, warping or print damage.
• Review your signage periodically to ensure all current hazards are clearly marked and any worn items are updated.

Pair your safety signage with cleaning equipment, chemicals, safety mats and waste management solutions to create a safer, more efficient workplace.
