Caution - Avian Flu has been Detected in this Area - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Alert the public, farm workers, and visitors that avian influenza (bird flu) has been identified nearby. The presence of the virus poses a risk to domestic poultry, wild birds, and, in rare cases, humans. The sign warns people to take extra precautions, follow biosecurity measures, and avoid actions that could spread the virus, such as handling birds, walking through contaminated areas, or allowing pets to roam freely.

This sign should be placed at entry points to farms, wetlands, nature reserves, lakes, parks, and other areas where birds congregate. It is especially important in high-traffic zones where people, pets, or vehicles might inadvertently come into contact with infected birds or contaminated surfaces. Proper placement ensures that visitors are aware of the risk before entering the affected area, helping to prevent the virus from spreading to other locations.

The wording “Avian Flu has been Detected in this Area” communicates the specific hazard clearly and urgently, while “Caution” signals the need for vigilance and compliance with recommended precautions. This combination helps people understand the seriousness of the situation and encourages responsible behaviour, such as staying on paths, controlling pets, and avoiding contact with birds.

Overall, using this sign is crucial for protecting wildlife, domestic poultry, and public health. It supports disease control efforts, minimises human-mediated virus transmission, and provides clear, authoritative guidance during an outbreak, ensuring coordinated action to contain and manage avian influenza risks.
