Unused signs should be stored out of sight, yet easily accessible. The best practice is to store signs near entrances and other locations with known temporary hazards such as beverage stations, ice machines, water fountains and restrooms. When in use, signs should be visible from all directions. Consider the physical characteristics of the space. Walls, partial walls, stair ways, merchandise displays and door openings are just some of the items that could turn your well-intentioned sign into a trip hazard.

The company has talked about building a Taser drone, which representatives said could to stop shootings in schools and public places, according to reporter Ese Olumhense. She also reports in The Markup that the idea has been controversial — both within Axon and outside of it.

Although other sign colors may be used, it is worth noting that ANSI standards have designated the following colors for specific types of hazards:

The three most common types are: soft, collapsible signs; durable plastic tent signs; and tall, durable plastic cone signs. Each has benefits and disadvantages which should be considered when purchasing. Soft, collapsible signs often come with storage tubes and are ideal for easy access in almost any location. However, these signs are often short and light which means they can be overlooked and easily displaced. Durable plastic tent signs can be stored behind large items, but fall down easily. The durable plastic cones are tall and stable, but difficult to store.

Wet floor signs are used to notify and/or remind people of slip and fall hazards in the immediate area. These hazards include the presence of liquid or other slippery substance on the walking surface as a result of routine cleaning, accidental spills, product leaks, or presence of inclement weather conditions. Proper use of wet floor signs clearly communicates the hazard, and reduces the potential for slips and falls.

There are many different types of floor signs. Just browsing the internet will provide you with many styles, such as barricades to restrict access to hazards and even a sign with a battery -operated fan to assist with floor-drying.
