Recommended placement

As general guidance, place the label at the specific area the equipment manufacturer identifies as not for stepping, where a person approaching that area can read it before placing a foot there. A cover or panel near an access route may need this warning if it is designated as a non-step area; do not assume every cover or panel requires the same marking.

Follow the manufacturer's required label locations and replacement instructions. A factory location for a particular machine has not been verified here. Keep existing warnings, controls, inspection areas and designated access markings unobstructed.

Match the warning to the area

A Not a Step label identifies a use restriction. It does not determine a surface's load-bearing strength, create a safe access route or provide fall protection. Not every restricted stepping area is necessarily fragile or non-structural.

Compare the complete wording, dimensions and artwork with the label required for your equipment. This is a warning decal, not a step, traction pad, guard or inspection approval, and it does not guarantee that slips or falls will be prevented.

The primary purpose of this safety decal is to warn operators of immediate hazards that can result in death or serious injury if fragile surfaces are stepped on. It features a bold red DANGER header to communicate the high severity of the hazard. Additionally, a visual prohibition pictogram is incorporated to instantly identify non-step surfaces to all personnel.
