Caution Trip Hazard Polycarbonate Sign is a tough W007 hazard warning sign for places where floor-level obstacles, uneven surfaces or fixed trip risks could catch people out. It helps you guide staff, visitors and contractors before a fall happens.

Where Caution Trip Hazard Polycarbonate Signs Should Be Fitted

You should install this sign beside fixed trip risks, raised thresholds, exposed edges, uneven flooring, cable routes, ramps and maintenance access points. Put it before the hazard, not after it, so people see the warning while they still have time to slow down or change route.

Practical Viewing Distance Guidance

For a 400 x 300 mm portrait sign, aim for clear recognition from around 4–8 metres in normal workplace lighting. Use closer placement in narrow corridors, plant rooms and door approaches, and avoid fitting it where racking, parked equipment or open doors block the view.

What This Trip Hazard Sign Helps Change On Site

After installation, this sign helps turn a hidden floor-level risk into a visible decision point. People are more likely to slow down, look at the floor ahead and take extra care where a permanent or semi-permanent trip hazard cannot be removed immediately.

✅ Fewer people walking blindly into raised edges or floor-level obstructions

✅ Clearer hazard awareness for visitors, contractors and temporary staff

✅ Better control where the trip risk cannot be removed straight away
