FOREIGN OBJECT DEBRIS HAZARD - KEEP AREA CLEAN

Caution signage is used to alert personnel to potential hazards that may result in minor or moderate injury if not avoided.

This FOREIGN OBJECT DEBRIS HAZARD – KEEP AREA CLEAN, ANSI-style Caution sign is designed to alert personnel to conditions where uncontrolled debris may compromise safety, product integrity, or equipment reliability. These signs are commonly deployed in aerospace, defense, and precision manufacturing environments where formal FOD mitigation programs are in place.

Unlike printed or laminated signage, these signs will not rust, rot, or delaminate over time. Each sign is CNC-machined from Color Core HDPE, a solid, non-laminated material consisting of a contrasting core color sandwiched between two uniform surface layers. All text and graphics are precision-carved, permanently exposing the core color — ensuring long-term legibility without peeling, fading, or adhesive failure. Color Core HDPE construction provides excellent resistance to moisture, chemicals, and routine washdowns, making these signs well suited for controlled manufacturing, processing, and support areas.

This sign has a YELLOW background with BLACK inner core color, compliant with ANSI Z535 standards for the “CAUTION” category.
