Mind The Step Signs
A mind the step sign warns people of a change in floor level before they trip or fall. These printable mind the step signs show a stepping figure or stairs on a yellow warning triangle, with text versions for door glass and risers. Pick step up, step down, mind the steps or watch your step, in A5, A4 or A3 and portrait or landscape. Fix the sign at eye level next to the step and make sure the step itself is well lit.

Questions
Where should the sign go?
At eye level on the approach to the step, not on the step itself.
Can I put it on the floor?
A sign on the floor is hard to see at an angle and wears out quickly. Use a wall or door sign and consider marking the step edge.
Do steps need anything besides a sign?
Good lighting, a visible edge and handrails where needed matter more than the sign.
Which sign for a ramp or slope?
Use the trip hazard or caution pages if the hazard is the surface rather than the step.
