Low Temperature Warning Signs for Cold Stores
Cold hazard signs warn staff about low temperatures in cold stores, freezer rooms, food and pharmaceutical warehouses and areas where cryogenic materials are used. Spending a long time in very cold conditions can cause chilling, frostbite and loss of concentration, and ice on the floor raises the risk of slips. The right sign at the door keeps these risks in mind every day.
Signs in This Category
- Caution, frost hazard: a yellow triangle warning sign with a low temperature symbol.

- Cold store rules: a combined sign stating authorised staff only, wear protective clothing, work with an observer and do not stay inside for long.
Choosing Materials for Cold Rooms
In cold, damp conditions, it matters that the sign stays put. Use 3 mm PVC (dekota) or galvanized steel on walls by the entrance and vinyl stickers on panel doors. Place the sign on the outside of the door so it is seen before anyone enters. Sizes range from A5 to A2, and custom wording or sizes are available on request.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which signs should a cold store have? A low temperature warning and a protective clothing sign at the entrance, plus a rules sign covering authorised access and not working alone.
Will a sign fall off in the cold? A clean, dry surface helps stickers last. On very cold surfaces, a screw-mounted PVC or galvanized steel sign is the safer choice.
