Caution - Mind the Step (English / Polish) - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Warn people about a change in floor level, such as a step up or down, which could cause trips or falls if unnoticed. Including both languages ensures that the warning is understood by a wider range of people, especially in areas with English and Polish speakers.

The main purpose of this sign is to increase awareness of the step hazard so that pedestrians approach the area carefully, preventing slips, trips, and falls. It serves as a visual reminder to watch your step and navigate the change in elevation safely.

This bilingual caution is particularly useful in workplaces, public buildings, or construction sites where both English and Polish-speaking individuals are present. Using two languages supports inclusivity and enhances overall safety by ensuring the message reaches a broader audience.

The sign should be placed directly adjacent to the step, where it is easily visible to anyone approaching from either direction. It should be well-maintained so that the text remains clear and legible in both languages to maximise its effectiveness.
