Winter safety essentials

Cold weather brings specific signage and safety equipment requirements: ice warning signs, slippery-surface markings, and salt/grit signage for UK winter site safety.

What you need for UK winter

  • Ice warning signs: yellow triangle "Caution: Slippery Surface" or "Caution: Ice" at car park entrances, building entrances, and external steps
  • Slippery-surface floor markings: anti-slip floor tape in entrance areas where wet/icy boots cause indoor slip hazards
  • Salt and grit signage: "Grit bin", "Salt store" identification for outdoor stocks
  • Snow clearance signage: "Footpath cleared" / "Footpath not yet cleared" for managed walkway communication

Stock and dispatch

Workplace duty of care

Under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, employers and building operators have a duty to keep external routes safe, including warning of icy conditions. Visible ice warning signage is part of the standard winter safety management approach.
