Trip Hazard Signs - Prevent Accidents Before They Happen

Trip hazards are one of the most common causes of workplace injuries across the UK. Whether it’s caused by wet floors, uneven surfaces, trailing electrical cables or loose mats, thousands of UK workers needlessly injure themselves every year after taking a nasty fall.

Not only do these instances cause personal harm, but they are also a nightmare for employers who are often found liable for the accident and are subsequently hit with costly penalties and fines for lack of compliance with Health and Safety Regulations. 

But it doesn’t have to be this way. Our range of trip hazard signs is designed to mitigate these risks and reduce unnecessary injuries and accidents within the workplace. Whether you’re running a warehouse, construction site, office space or public building, our slip, trip and fall signs provide an effective warning that protects staff and your business from harm. 

Why Trip Hazard Signs Are Necessary

Under Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996, businesses and organisations have a legal duty to protect staff and visitors from avoidable risks. Failure to provide adequate warning of these hazards in the workplace exposes your business to costly legal challenges, reputational damage, and hefty non-compliance fines.

A clearly positioned trip hazard sign plays a direct role in preventing these incidents before they take place. They provide a strong visual prompt that helps individuals adjust their behaviour and mitigate risks before accidents occur. This is especially important in busy environments like warehouses, factories and construction sites where distractions are common and visibility may be reduced.

By positioning our signs across your site, you demonstrate your compliance with regulatory requirements and help minimise unnecessary workplace injuries and accidents. 

Material Options & Best Use Cases

Choosing the right signage material for your specific application is super important, as it influences how long your sign will last and how well it performs. No stress, we have provided a quick breakdown below to help aid your decision: 

Self-Adhesive Vinyl: Intended for indoor use on smooth surfaces. Equipped with a high-tack adhesive, accommodating a simple installation process. It's highly budget-friendly but not suitable for outdoor use.

Rigid Plastic: Lightweight yet rigid, our plastic boards are well-suited for long-term indoor use. They can be mounted to surfaces with screws or cable ties. Like our vinyl option, they're not intended for outdoor use as they aren’t weather-resistant. 

PVC Foamex: A step up from rigid plastic boards, PVC Foamex is an exceptionally versatile signage option suitable for indoor or outdoor use. Resistant to wind, rain and UV for between 3-5 years, they're an excellent choice for any use case. 

Aluminium Dibond: Our most robust signage option, aluminium Dibond is best used outdoors or in tough working environments such as construction and industry. Fully weatherproof, it offers up to a decade of usage indoors or outdoors. 

How to Position Your Slip, Trip and Fall signs for Maximum Impact

Even the best-designed sign won’t raise awareness if it isn’t strategically positioned. Correct placement makes the difference between a warning that’s noticed and one that’s ignored. Follow these tips below to get the most visibility from your slip hazard signs: 

Place signs at eye level

Display our slipping hazard signs as close to eye level as possible. This ensures they aren’t easily overlooked. 

Position before the hazard

Ensure trip hazard signs are displayed in advance of the hazard so that people have a chance to adjust their behaviour accordingly. 

Use multiple signs in long walkways

For larger working zones, reinforce the message by repeating it several times. One sign often isn’t enough to effectively reinforce hazard warnings. 

Account for lighting

Ensure your slip warning sign is displayed in well-lit working environments.
