Buyer’s Guide to Choosing Janitorial Safety Signage

Janitorial safety signs help warn staff, customers and visitors about wet floors, active cleaning areas and temporary access restrictions. Insinc’s range includes A-frame signs, heavy-duty warning signs, pyramid signs, safety cones and “Closed for Cleaning” barrier poles.

These signs are suitable for offices, schools, shopping centres, hospitality venues, healthcare facilities and other commercial areas where cleaning may create a temporary hazard.

Which Safety Sign Should You Choose?

A-frame signs are lightweight, easy to carry and suitable for everyday warnings such as “Wet Floor”, “Cleaning in Progress” and “Slippery When Wet”. Heavy-duty and pyramid signs provide greater visibility and stability in busy areas.

Safety cones are useful in larger open spaces, while a “Closed for Cleaning” pole can temporarily restrict entry to washrooms or cleaning zones. Blank signs may be suitable where businesses need to add their own message.

Where Should Cleaning Signs Be Positioned?

Place signs where they are clearly visible before people reach the hazard, including both sides of a wet or recently cleaned area when necessary. Larger 680mm and 900mm signs can improve visibility in wide corridors, entrances and public spaces.

Remove the sign only after the floor is dry and the area is safe. Keep signs clean, readable and easy for cleaning staff to access.
