Use caution with outdoor signage

With the current blustery weather we are having the Environmental Health and Safety Office (EHS) would like to remind the campus community of concerns regarding the use of outdoor signs and sandwich boards. Please remember-

  • If you place signs maintain them at least daily and remove them when the need for them is over.
  • Use sand bags or signs with weighted bottoms. Unweighted signs simply don鈥檛 stay up in our current weather and signs that blow over become trip hazards.
  • Place signs to the side of the main pathway so as not to impede pedestrian traffic flow.
  • Be aware of how your sign might impact a sight-impaired person鈥檚 travel on the pathway.

Questions or concerns? Please contact EHS at x3064.
