Danger - Thin Ice - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Warn people about areas of ice that are too thin to safely support weight, such as on lakes, ponds, or rivers during cold weather. Thin ice poses a significant hazard because it can easily crack or break underfoot, leading to the risk of falling into freesing water, which can result in drowning or hypothermia.

The main purpose of this sign is to prevent accidents by clearly communicating the danger and discouraging people from walking, skating, or engaging in other activities on the unsafe ice. It serves as a vital reminder to stay off the ice in these areas to avoid life-threatening situations.

This warning is commonly placed in natural outdoor environments during winter months, especially in public parks, recreational areas, and near bodies of water where ice forms but may not be thick enough to be safe. It helps authorities manage public safety and reduce rescue incidents.

The sign should be positioned in visible locations near the edges of the water or at access points where people might attempt to cross or use the ice. It must be maintained so that the warning remains clear, especially during periods when ice conditions can change rapidly.
