Caution - Cleaning in Progress - Self Standing - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Alert people that cleaning activities are currently taking place in an area with this highly visible self standing sign. Its purpose is to help prevent accidents, particularly slips and falls, by notifying passersby that the floor may be wet, slippery, or obstructed by cleaning equipment. Because it is self-standing, the sign can be placed quickly and securely without requiring any fixtures or mounting.

This type of sign is important for ensuring safety and meeting workplace health and safety requirements. In many commercial or public spaces, regulations require that cleaning staff provide a clear visual warning when a potential hazard is present. By using this sign, businesses reduce the risk of injuries and demonstrate due diligence in protecting staff, customers, and visitors.

The sign is commonly used in environments such as shopping centres, offices, schools, hospitals, airports, and restaurants. It is especially useful in high-traffic areas where cleaning must take place during operational hours, ensuring that people are aware of the work and can navigate safely around it.

To be most effective, the sign should be positioned where it is clearly visible from multiple directions, ideally at the entrance to the area being cleaned. In large or open spaces, more than one sign may be needed to ensure visibility from all approaches. Once cleaning is finished and the area is safe, the sign should be removed promptly to maintain credibility and avoid unnecessary obstruction.
