Custom Caution Signs | Custom OSHA & ANSI Caution Signs

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is a custom "Caution" sign?

A custom caution sign uses the standard yellow OSHA/ANSI caution header but allows you to write your own text. It is used for hazards that could cause minor injury or to warn against unsafe practices. You can design one using our custom signs tool.

Q. When should I use "Caution" vs "Danger"?

Use caution for lower-risk hazards (e.g., trip hazards, hot water). Use danger only for high-risk hazards that will cause death or severe injury. Overusing danger dilutes its meaning, which is why we separate osha caution signs from osha danger signs.

Q. Can I use a Caution sign for property damage warnings?

The modern ANSI standard recommends using a blue notice header for property damage or rules. Caution is best reserved for potential personal injury hazards, following the structure detailed in custom ansi signs labels.

Q. What are common uses for custom Caution signs?

Common uses include caution low headroom, caution step down, caution men working.

Q. What materials are available for Caution signs?

They are available in aluminum (for long-term outdoor use), plastic (for indoor/outdoor mounting), and adhesive vinyl (for sticking directly to equipment, doors, or smooth walls).
