Caution decals are a specific design of sign indicated to advise people against possible hazards, unsafe operating conditions and other potentially harmful practices. Caution stickers normally have a yellow background with black lettering on part of the decal and black background and yellow lettering at the top. The caution signs, stickers and decals are used for a variety of purposes.

Wet floor signs warn people about walking carefully to avoid slipping and falling. Caution signs are used for motorists to indicate cross walks, sharp curves, railroad crossings, height limitations for under passes and weight limits for roads and bridges. Caution decals often appear on machinery, equipment and commercial trucks advising against different possible hazards.

There are Caution decals used on semi-trucks and other commercial vehicles which warn about wide turns, frequent stops, and the inability to see cars in the side mirrors and backing up. Caution signs and decals are required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to warn people of the potential dangers if proper procedures are not followed.

Equipment and machinery also have Caution decals attached to them to warn operators about improper usage. The signs and decals can warn about having to disconnect power before serving the machine, about not operating equipment which compacts or shreds materials without proper safety guards installed and keeping hands out of the way of dangerous moving parts.

The waste management industry uses Caution decals on trash bins, trash trucks and at its processing facilities. These decals are used for the operators and employees as well as people that around this equipment and machinery. Caution stickers found on trash bins and trash dumpsters warn people about not playing in, on or around the trash receptacles because of possible harm which could be caused such as falling into the trash dumpster.

If a person were to fall into a trash dumpster and not able to get out, there is the risk of the waste management truck dumping them into the back of the truck and being compacted, leading to serious injury or even death. Caution decals are provided to help protect waste management companies in the event of an accident from liability. People that ignore the warnings on the caution stickers run the risk of being hurt and companies do not want to be held liable for their injuries.

Caution decals should be updated whenever the stickers fade or the text is no longer clearly readable.
