Caution Slippery Surface Aluminium Sign helps facilities, site and maintenance teams warn people about slip hazards in indoor or outdoor areas, reducing avoidable falls.
Caution Slippery Surface Aluminium Sign warns staff, visitors and contractors that a floor or walking route may cause slipping. You can use it near wet, polished, greasy or weather-exposed areas where a durable sign helps people slow down and step carefully.
Best Places To Fit Caution Slippery Surface Aluminium Signs
You should install this sign at eye level before the slippery area, not after someone has already stepped onto it. Use it beside entrances, wash-down points, ramps, loading areas, kitchens, plant rooms and external paths where the warning must be seen early enough to change behaviour.
Viewing Distance Guidance For This 400 x 300 mm Warning Sign
For a 400 x 300 mm warning sign, place it where people can read it comfortably from around 4–8 metres on approach. Shorter corridors, doorways and tighter work areas may need closer positioning, while open yards need a clear, unobstructed line of sight.
What Should Improve Once This Slip Hazard Sign Is Fitted
After installation, this sign helps you turn a hidden floor hazard into an obvious warning. People see the slipping risk earlier, adjust their pace and avoid walking into wet, greasy or polished areas without caution.
✅ Helps visitors slow down before reaching the hazard
✅ Supports clearer control around recurring slippery surfaces
✅ Gives staff a fixed warning point that remains in place

Caution Slippery Surface Aluminium Sign questions answered
What is a Caution Slippery Surface Aluminium Sign used for? It warns people that the surface ahead may cause slipping, helping you reduce risk around wet, greasy, polished or weather-affected walking areas.
Should I choose aluminium instead of plastic for this sign? Choose aluminium when you need a more durable fixed sign, especially in tougher indoor settings or outdoor areas exposed to weather, knocks or regular cleaning.
Where should this sign be positioned for best effect? Fit it before the hazard at normal eye level, where people naturally approach the slippery surface and still have time to slow down or change route.
Does this replace temporary wet floor signs? No. Use this fixed aluminium sign for known or recurring slippery surfaces. Use temporary floor signs when the hazard is short-term, such as a fresh spill or cleaning task.
Is the W011 slipping person symbol compliant? Yes. W011 is the EN ISO 7010 warning symbol for slippery surface hazards, and this sign also follows BS 5499 sign regulation principles.
