Tips

  • Write the hazard in the main line, not the word "caution". The band on top already says caution; the big line should say what to look out for.
  • Workplaces covered by OSHA should use ANSI Z535-style caution signs for permanent hazards. This printout is for temporary and everyday notices.

Questions

When should I use a caution sign vs a danger sign?

Caution is for hazards that could cause minor or moderate injury. Danger is reserved for hazards that will cause serious injury or death, and those should use an official sign.
