Caution - Wet Floor - Self Standing Floor Sign - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

A portable safety device designed to warn people of slip hazards caused by wet or recently cleaned floors. These signs are highly visible, made from bright yellow polypropylene with bold black lettering and slipping person pictogram, making them easily understood even by non-English speakers. The self-standing design allows the sign to be quickly placed in the hazard area without any mounting or installation, providing immediate warning to passersby.

The main reason to use this type of sign is to prevent accidents and meet safety regulations. Slips and falls are among the most common workplace injuries, and many jurisdictions require that businesses take reasonable steps to warn about hazards. By placing a clearly visible wet floor sign, businesses reduce the risk of injuries, potential liability claims, and damage to their reputation.

These signs are used in a wide range of locations, including supermarkets, restaurants, office buildings, hospitals, schools, airports, and factories. They are especially valuable in high-traffic public areas where people may not notice that a floor is wet. Because they are lightweight and foldable, they can be stored compactly and deployed quickly whenever a spill, leak, or cleaning activity occurs.

When using a “Caution – Wet Floor” self-standing sign, it should be placed directly in or near the hazard zone, ideally visible from multiple approaches. For larger wet areas, multiple signs may be necessary to provide adequate warning from all directions. Once the floor is dry and safe, the sign should be removed promptly to avoid unnecessary caution fatigue, ensuring that people continue to take the warning seriously when it is truly needed.
