What does a caution sign mean?

A caution sign indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury. This definition comes from the ANSI Z535 standards, which OSHA recognizes for workplace safety sign design.

What color are OSHA caution signs?

Caution signs have a yellow background with a black panel and yellow lettering for the signal word, with black lettering used for the message. These color requirements are set by 29 CFR 1910.145 and ANSI Z535.1.

When should I use a caution sign instead of a warning sign?

Use a caution sign when the worst credible outcome of the hazard is minor or moderate injury. If the hazard could result in death or serious injury, use a warning sign. Matching the signal word to the severity of the hazard keeps your sign system credible and defensible.
