Product Overview
The HV20YER Wet Floor Warning Sign is a fundamental component of any workplace health and safety protocol. Designed with high-visibility and durability at its core, this sign serves as a clear, immediate alert to potential slip and trip hazards. Its primary function is to mitigate risk in environments where floors may be damp due to cleaning, leaks, or spillages, ensuring both staff and visitors remain safe. The vivid yellow colour and universally recognised symbols provide an unambiguous message that transcends language barriers, making it an essential asset for any professional setting.
Key Features
- Double-sided printing ensures that the warning is visible to individuals approaching from either direction, providing comprehensive hazard coverage.
- The visual wet floor symbol uses a standardised icon to communicate danger clearly and instantly, reducing the risk of accidental slips.
- Constructed from heavy-duty polypropylene, this sign is built to withstand the rigours of daily commercial use without warping or cracking.
- The high-visibility yellow finish is designed to contrast sharply against most flooring types, ensuring the warning is noticed before a person enters the hazard zone.
Design & Performance
Engineered from heavy-duty polypropylene, the HV20YER is a robust piece of safety equipment. While it remains light enough for easy transport between locations, it possesses a substantial and sturdy feel that prevents it from being easily displaced by minor drafts or accidental knocks. The material is non-absorbent and chemically resistant, which is particularly beneficial when used in environments involving cleaning agents or chemical handling.
The folding A-frame design allows for rapid deployment when a hazard arises and ensures the sign remains stable on flat surfaces. The quality of the print is designed for longevity, resisting fading or peeling even when subjected to frequent handling and the damp conditions inherent in its use case.
Why No Customisation?
This product is sold without customisation to ensure it remains compliant with standard safety signaling. The universal wet floor symbol is designed to be the sole focus of the sign; adding logos or branding could distract from the safety message or reduce the visibility of the hazard warning. As an item of safety equipment, its primary purpose is clear communication of risk rather than brand promotion.
Use Cases
This sign is indispensable across a wide range of sectors. It is ideally suited for healthcare settings such as hospitals, dental surgeries, and veterinary clinics where hygiene is paramount and frequent floor cleaning is required. It is also highly effective in industrial environments, office buildings, and retail spaces where spillages or wet weather tracking can create hazardous conditions underfoot.

Practical Advice
When not in use, the sign folds flat for efficient storage. We recommend storing it in a dedicated safety equipment cupboard to prevent it from becoming a trip hazard itself. For maximum efficacy, ensure the sign is placed at a sufficient distance from the hazard to allow individuals time to react and adjust their pace.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and visibility of your safety sign, it is important to keep the surface clean. A build-up of dirt or grime can obscure the warning symbols and reduce the vibrancy of the yellow finish, potentially compromising its effectiveness.
We recommend wiping the sign down regularly with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaning pads or harsh solvent-based chemicals, as these can damage the polypropylene surface or degrade the printed symbols. After cleaning, ensure the sign is dry before folding it for storage to prevent any residual moisture from affecting other equipment.
