Caution - Very Hot Water - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Used to warn people that the water in a particular area or from a specific source is extremely hot and could cause burns or scalding. This warning helps prevent accidental contact or use, especially in places like kitchens, industrial facilities, bathrooms, or near water heaters where hot water is accessible.

The main purpose of the sign is to reduce the risk of injury by making individuals aware of the potential hazard before they come into contact with the hot water. It encourages caution and careful handling, helping to avoid serious burns, especially for children, elderly people, or anyone unaware of the risk.

This type of caution is often required for health and safety compliance in workplaces and public spaces. By posting the warning, organisations demonstrate responsibility for protecting users and meeting safety standards, reducing the likelihood of accidents and legal liability.

The sign should be placed near faucets, water outlets, boilers, or any equipment where very hot water is dispensed or accessible. It should be clearly visible and maintained so that it remains easy to read at all times.
