Communication of safety concerns and unusual operating conditions is an important part of keeping our campus community safe. Temporary signs are a useful tool in informing students, staff, visitors, and vendors of unusual conditions. It is important to use the sign that is suitable to the level of concern. Environmental Health & Safety has made a quick and easy way to determine which sign is appropriate for the issue. Safety signs should be used in addition to regular communications channels; Work Control will continue to be the primary source of communicating workplace issues via email.

Tips:
- You will not be able to edit the sign after you open it; you must download a copy before you can edit it.
- Make sure the message on the sign is brief and clear.
- Post the sign in a conspicuous location. You may have to have several signs to notify people who are approaching from a different direction.
- When using danger tape or caution tape, affix the sign to the tape.
- When appropriate, include a contact name, department, or phone number.
- Do not forget to remove the sign after the issue has been resolved!
