A hazard is a danger, risk or potential source of harm. Hazards can be found in the workplace, on building sites, at home and on the road. Proper identification and warning of a hazard goes a long way towards mitigating the threat it might pose.

To this end, hazard signage is very important. Basic hazard warning signs can be helpful, but the best signs are those that communicate what the hazard is specifically. State governments, road authorities and local councils seek to be a precise as possible when warning of a hazard. Business operators and bodies corporate should likewise do the same.
