hazard sign

Caution symbol displayed

A hazard sign is a visual warning indicator—typically a symbol, icon, or placard—alerting people to potential dangers in an area.

These signs use standardized colors and shapes: yellow triangles for caution, red circles for prohibition, orange for biological hazards.

The hazard sign showed a figure slipping on a wet floor.

Common examples include radiation symbols, electrical warnings, and construction site notices.
