What signage communicates a wet floor hazard?

• A. Elevator sign
• B. No signs
• C. Wet floor sign
• D. Fire extinguisher sign

Answer: (C)

Warning signs communicate hazards, and for a slick surface, the message you want is a wet floor sign. The wet floor sign instantly signals that the floor is wet and slippery, so people slow down, watch their step, and look for the spill source or cleanup. It helps prevent slips and falls by providing a clear, specific cue. Elevator signs point to access or operation of the elevator, not to a slipping hazard; signs indicating no signs offer no warning at all; fire extinguisher signs mark equipment for fighting fires. So the wet floor sign is the one that communicates this hazard.
