Warning Sudden Drop Signs | Hazard Signs
Product Summary
Ensure maximum on-site safety and regulatory compliance with our Warning Sudden Drop Signs. Designed to alert workers, visitors, and the general public to sudden level changes, these hazard signs are essential for preventing trip-and-fall accidents in high-risk zones such as construction sites, loading bays, excavation areas, and uneven ground surfaces. Clear and highly visible, these signs use bold text and widely recognised warning symbols to communicate potential hazards effectively.
In accordance with the Health & Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 and conforming to BS 5499 standards, our Warning Sudden Drop Signs are an important part of any workplace safety signage system. Whether you're managing a construction project, maintaining an industrial facility, or overseeing public infrastructure, these signs help maintain a secure environment by clearly identifying elevation changes and potentially slippery surface sign areas.
Material & Print Options
Our Warning Sudden Drop Signs are built for durability and visibility, even in demanding site conditions. Choose from two industry-standard material options to best suit your installation environment:
- Adhesive Vinyl: Ideal for smooth, clean surfaces such as walls, doors, or temporary signage needs. Easy to apply and resistant to moisture and wear.
- 3mm Rigid PVC: A more robust, weather-resistant option suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Lightweight yet strong, perfect for long-term installations.
All signs are printed using UV-stable inks to prevent fading over time, ensuring your safety messages remain legible and professional for extended periods.
Installation Info
Our Warning Sudden Drop Signs are designed for easy and flexible installation across various surfaces. Please note that fixings are not included, allowing you to select the most appropriate method for your specific application — whether using screws, adhesive pads, or cable ties (depending on surface type and environmental conditions).
For adhesive vinyl signs, ensure surfaces are clean and dry before application. For rigid PVC signs, pre-drill for screws or use mounting tape or sign holders to secure signage in place.
