Whenever we walk near a construction site, we almost always see warning signs that are either hanged or posted on the gates or barriers. Sometimes we do not really read the messages imprinted but we still take the necessary precautions such as taking a different route or by walking quickly to avoid accidents due to falling debris. Perhaps, instinct tells us that it is unsafe to pass through these areas regardless of a warning sign's presence. Although most of us are aware of the danger in these areas, it is still necessary for building contractors to inform passersby to evade the possible dangers.
So what is the best way to inform passersby? Well, you can assign a person who will tell everybody that the area is unsafe; but that would be too costly and cumbersome, besides only a few people would benefit from such system. So, the best option is still to put up some signs, and what is advisable are danger flags. Your
danger flags need not be printed with the message in detail, but the mere presence of such flags would normally alert passersby of the impending danger. Always remember though that these flags must be posted on areas or walls that are visually legible to the public. And since danger flags are almost always in red fabric, it is advisable to print the danger word in white or black to create the proper contrast so people both nearby and afar, can easily understand the message.
