Design Requirements: Caution signs are usually rectagular in shape. The body is yellow with a black upper panel. The word "CAUTION" is printed in yellow on the black upper panel. Specific information and pictograms, on the lower portion of the sign, is printed in black. A caution sign indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. Caution signs are used in areas where potential injury or equipment damage is possible, or to caution against unsafe practices. Next: Notice Signs >>

Caution
signs are to be posted to indicate a possible hazard against
which proper precautions should betaken. Whenever an employee
is exposed to sound levels exceeding the levels prescribed
by OSHA, the employer must ensure that hearing protection
is worn. This informational marking serves to remind employees
that they have entered an area where hearing protection
must be worn.
Outlets
for non-potable water must be identified with signs meeting
the requirements of Subpart G of Part 1926 (Signs, Signals
and Barricated) to clearly indicate that the water should
not be used for drinking, washing or cooking purposes.
Entrances
to regulated areas, where the airborne concentrations of
asbestos exceed the exposure limits given in Subpart Z,
1910.1001(c), must be marked to minimize the number of persons
exposed to asbestos.
