Caution - Slippery Floor Surface - ISO 7010: W011 - Slippery Surface Safety Signs

A Caution Slippery Floor Surface sign is used to warn people that a floor may present an increased risk of slipping. Clearly identifying the hazard helps employees, visitors and contractors take greater care when entering or moving through the affected area, reducing the likelihood of slips, falls and related injuries. The sign provides a simple and highly visible reminder that extra caution is required.

This type of warning sign is suitable for a wide range of environments where floors may become wet, polished, greasy, smooth or otherwise slippery. Typical locations include entrances, corridors, kitchens, washrooms, changing areas, warehouses, factories, production areas, loading bays and cleaning zones. It can also be used in areas where spillages, condensation, regular washing or weather conditions may temporarily increase the risk of slipping.

Use a Caution Slippery Floor Surface sign wherever a known or recurring slip hazard needs to be clearly communicated. Positioned where it can be seen before people enter the affected area, the sign helps support safer movement around the premises and reinforces good workplace safety practices. It is particularly useful as part of a wider approach to slip prevention alongside effective cleaning, maintenance and floor management procedures.
