'Danger, slippery Floor' signs are used to prevent falls. Pretty obvious really, but what about the 'Danger, sign in the walkway' signs? You don't see any of those do you? What I am getting at is that the slippery floor sign is there for a reason, but it's also obstructing the pathway which in itself is probably a good idea given the state of the floor, but what about when it dries up and is no longer slippery? I wouldn't have an issue if they were impressively obstructive, but they're barely 18" high and hardly stand out if walking along at a normal pace. They tend to inhabit washrooms the most frequently, but you can spot them on that day of the week when the floor is scheduled for it's weekly mop. In order to improve this situation, I always move the signs when it is obviously not needed, but always feel a little guilty in case there's a hidden slippery bit that only the sign erector knows about and I might end up the wrong side of a law suit.
So, I'd like to see bigger signs followed by prompt removal of aforesaid mentioned signage when no longer required. Easy.
