Trip Hazard Signs
Trip hazard signs go by floor cords, cracked concrete patches, uneven thresholds and spots where cables cross a walkway. Facility managers, office teams, school custodians and warehouse supervisors use them to point out a floor problem until someone repairs it.

Where trip hazard signs are used
Wedding venue staff, office managers in older buildings and church custodians post this sign beside a carpet seam that rises, at a loose floor mat by a shop entrance, and by a row of folding tables where a strip of carpet lifts. A retail store may place one by a register where a tile has come up. The sign is a warning until the floor is fixed, and it marks the spot for the person who will do the repair.
Choosing the size and where to hang it
Set it at about eye level on a stand or wall near the spot, where walkers see it before the trip point. The 18 in x 12 in size suits a single crack or seam, and the 24 in x 18 in size reads from the middle of a room. Plastic is light and works indoors on a stand with tape or zip ties. Aluminum is the better pick when the spot sits in a yard or an entrance, since it is rust-free and takes screws.
Questions about trip hazard signs
Where do trip hazard signs go?
Place one just before the hazard at the walkway entry, and repeat it on a long cable run or a floor patch so people see it up close. A sign that appears only after someone has tripped does not help. Your facility team or safety officer decides which spots need one.
Do I take the sign down after a repair?
Yes. Once the hazard is gone, a sign that still says trip hazard can confuse people. Remove it or move it when the repair is done, and keep it on hand for the next cable run or patch. Your facility team sets how hazards are marked and cleared.
Can the sign name the spot?
Use the optional line in the builder for a hall, dock or room name, such as Dock 3 or Hall B. Look over the full sign in the preview before you order, so spacing and spelling are easy to confirm.
Can I use the sign as a temporary fix?
A sign is a reminder until the floor is repaired. It does not stop a trip, so it is most useful when a repair date is already on the schedule. Keep the date in your site log rather than on the sign, and check your state and local rules for the walkway standards that may apply to your building.
Is the reflective version useful indoors?
Reflective aluminum shines back in headlights, so it fits a parking lot or yard edge better than an indoor floor. For a hallway or a shop, standard aluminum or plastic does the job. The printed lines are fixed, so TRIP and HAZARD stay as they are at any size.
