Caution - Slippery Surface - Lightweight Self Standing Sign - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

A “Caution – Slippery Surface” self-standing sign is used to warn people of a surface that may cause slips or falls, even when it appears dry. Unlike “Wet Floor” signs that are typically used after spills or mopping, this sign is ideal for areas that are naturally or consistently slippery, such as smooth tiles, ramps, or exterior walkways exposed to rain or frost.

This sign is especially important in commercial buildings, hospitals, schools, gyms, swimming pools, kitchens, warehouses, and car parks—anywhere that a floor’s material or condition poses a potential slip hazard. It should be placed in high-risk zones and visible walkways, particularly in areas where pedestrians may not expect the risk, such as near building entrances, locker rooms, or industrial work zones.

The self-standing design makes it portable, quick to deploy, and easy to reposition, which is ideal for both temporary and semi-permanent use. It doesn’t require mounting and stands securely on flat surfaces, allowing staff to move or store it as needed.

In summary, the “Caution – Slippery Surface” self-standing sign is a simple but vital safety tool that helps prevent accidents by alerting people to persistent floor hazards. Its portability and clear visibility make it a key part of any workplace or public space safety protocol.
