Warning sign - yellow triangle
Hazard Signs
Hazard signs warn people about a specific risk in a particular place. On a hazard sign the yellow triangle and black symbol do the first job - get noticed - and a few words say what the risk is. Our printable hazard signs cover falls, fragile roofs, overhead loads, falling objects and thin ice, each as an A5, A4 or A3 PDF in portrait and landscape. For chemical, electrical, fire and trip hazards, use the dedicated listings linked below.

Print tips
- Print at "actual size" or 100%, not "fit to page", so the margins stay even.
- Use thicker paper or card (160gsm or more) if the sign will be handled.
- For outdoor or long-term use, laminate it or buy a rigid version.
Where to use it
- Loading bays, platform edges and open drops
- Roof hatches and fragile surfaces
- Under cranes, hoists and lifting areas
- Stores and shelving where items can fall
- Ponds, reservoirs and frozen water on private land
Questions
What counts as a hazard?
A hazard is anything with the potential to cause harm. A sign draws attention to it; it does not remove it.
Is a hazard sign enough on its own?
Usually not. A sign supports other controls such as guarding, barriers and training.
Which sign should I use for water hazards?
Use the deep-water or pool listings linked below; thin ice is here.
Can I print hazard signs in black and white?
The symbol still reads, but you lose the yellow warning colour. Use colour wherever you can.
