Product Information

Caution Hot Surface Hazard Warning Signs feature bold text and attention-grabbing graphics making them highly visible and easily understood. By prominently displaying these signs near hot surfaces such as pipes, machinery or equipment you provide a clear visual warning for individuals to exercise caution and take appropriate safety measures. Caution signs may be necessary in a variety of situations, for example: to indicate toxic waste, corrosive substances, asbestos, electricity, chemical store or reversing vehicles. We have specific warning signs for each of these hazards, but would also recommend that employers invest in general signage that warns against the more common hazards that are likely to occur in every workplace, such as steps, trip hazards and wet floors. When selecting the finishings or treatments that will work best in your workplace, consider the specific needs of the environment. For example: do the signs need to be seen at night? Do they need to be graffiti-resistant or anti-slip for high traffic workplaces? Caution Sign Installation Safetyshop has a wide variety of signs to suit both indoor and outdoor environments. Depending on whether you need heavy-duty signs to withstand the pressures of an intense outdoor or industrial environment, or vinyl signs to warn of indoor hazards, our signage is available in a variety of materials. As well as taking steps to warn those close to the hazardous area of the risks they’re exposing themselves to, employees and premises owners should also be prepared to treat potential injuries with the correct specialist equipment for the situation. Although general first aid kits are useful to help treat most kinds of minor injuries that happen in the workplace, when it comes to injuries sustained from extreme temperatures, it’s important to have the correct materials to hand.

An anodized safety sign or label’s image is actually dyed into the surface of a specialized aluminum material and then put through a chemical process to seal the image into the pores of the aluminum. Although the colors are not as vibrant as an ink-printed label, the color will be protected from heat degradation. As for mounting the anodized sign or label, specialized adhesives can be used that withstand higher temperatures. Caution Hot Surface Signs contribute to a culture of safety in the workplace or any environment where they are displayed. By prominently featuring these signs, businesses demonstrate their commitment to ensuring the well-being and safety of individuals. This fosters a safety-conscious mindset among employees and visitors encouraging them to be more mindful of potential hazards and take appropriate measures to protect themselves. Hot surfaces are not always readily discernible. So if you know that a surface could become dangerously hot, then it is likely that you have a duty to warn people of the possibility of a burn hazard. Once again, graphical symbols can come to the rescue and save the day by assisting you with carrying out this responsibility. Caution Hot Surface Signs are vital safety signs designed to warn individuals about the presence of hot surfaces and prevent potential burn injuries. These signs play a critical role in promoting awareness and ensuring the safety of personnel and visitors in various environments. The benefits of using Caution Hot Surface Signs are numerous as they effectively communicate the potential hazard and encourage precautionary measures.
