What Is a Work in Progress Caution Board?
A Work in Progress Caution Board is a portable temporary warning sign used to communicate that work, maintenance, repairs or servicing activities are taking place within or around an area.
Clear Warning Message
The Work in Progress message helps communicate that a temporary workplace activity is currently underway.
Portable Folding Design
Folding A-frame warning boards can be positioned temporarily and moved or stored when they are no longer required.
Temporary Work Communication
The board can support workplace communication, but it should not replace barriers, isolation or other controls where the actual activity requires them.
Where Are Work in Progress Signs Used?
Work in Progress warning signs may be suitable where people approaching an area need to know that temporary work or maintenance activity is underway.
Maintenance Work
Portable warning boards may be positioned around suitable maintenance activities to communicate that work is underway.
Facility Repairs
Work in Progress signs can communicate temporary repair activities within managed workplace environments.
Equipment Servicing
A temporary warning may be useful around suitable servicing activities where people approaching the area need to be informed.
Cleaning Operations
Where the primary message relates to work or an activity in progress rather than specifically a wet floor, the appropriate warning wording should be selected.
Temporary Work Areas
Portable warning signs can help communicate appropriate short-term activities in managed work areas.
Facility Management
Facility-management teams may use portable signs during suitable repairs, inspections, maintenance and servicing activities.
Folding Work in Progress Warning Boards
Folding Work in Progress signs commonly use an A-frame format that allows the board to stand independently while the temporary warning is required.
Once the work activity has been completed or the warning is no longer applicable, the board can be folded for movement or storage.
This portable format can be practical for facility-management, cleaning and maintenance teams working across different areas.
Features to Consider
- Clear Work in Progress wording
- Visible warning symbol
- Portable folding construction
- Suitable positioning within the work area
- Easy movement between locations
- Practical storage when not required
- Visibility from relevant approaches
Where Should a Work in Progress Sign Be Positioned?
The sign should be positioned so people approaching the relevant work area have an opportunity to see the warning before entering or reaching the activity.
Before the Work Area
Position the warning where approaching people can see it before reaching the temporary work activity.
Consider Every Approach
Think about doors, corridors, entrances and other routes from which people may approach.
Maintain Visibility
Avoid unnecessarily hiding the board behind equipment, furniture or other visual obstructions.
Match the Actual Activity
Work in Progress should accurately describe the temporary condition or work being communicated.
Avoid Creating an Obstruction
Position the board thoughtfully so the warning itself does not unnecessarily obstruct movement.
Remove When No Longer Relevant
Temporary warnings should reflect the current situation and should be removed or updated when appropriate.
A Work in Progress Sign Communicates Work — It Does Not Control the Work Area
A Work in Progress caution board is a communication tool. It should not be treated as a substitute for barriers, isolation, guarding, restricted access or other controls where those measures are required.
The controls needed depend on the actual work activity, workplace environment and hazards involved.
Work in Progress Sign vs Wet Floor Sign
Both are temporary caution boards, but they communicate different conditions. Choosing the correct message helps make the warning clearer.
Work in Progress
Communicates that maintenance, repair, servicing or another temporary work activity is underway.
Wet Floor
Communicates specifically that a floor or walking surface is currently wet.

Work in Progress Signs for Maintenance Teams
Maintenance teams often move between different rooms, corridors, facilities and work areas while carrying out inspections, servicing and repairs.
Portable folding Work in Progress boards can be moved with the activity and positioned where a temporary warning is appropriate.
The sign should remain relevant to the activity being communicated and should complement any stronger controls required for the work.
Common Maintenance Applications
- Facility repairs
- Equipment servicing
- General maintenance
- Temporary repair areas
- Building maintenance
- Inspection work
- Facility-management activities

How to Choose a Work in Progress Caution Board
Consider the warning message, workplace environment, visibility and handling requirements before selecting a portable sign.
Warning Wording
Confirm that Work in Progress accurately describes the activity you need to communicate.
Visibility
Consider whether the wording and warning symbol can be seen from relevant approaches.
Folding Design
A folding A-frame format can make movement and storage practical for maintenance and facility teams.
Work Environment
Consider where the warning board will normally be used and the nature of the temporary work.
Number of Work Areas
Consider how many separate areas or approaches may require temporary warning communication.
Additional Controls
Determine whether the work activity also requires barriers, restricted access, isolation or other controls.
Common Work in Progress Sign Mistakes
Temporary warning signage works best when the message accurately represents the activity and the sign is positioned where people can see it.
Using the Wrong Warning
Use Work in Progress when it accurately describes the activity being communicated.
Poor Placement
Avoid positioning the sign where approaching people cannot reasonably see the warning.
Ignoring Other Approaches
Consider all relevant entrances and routes into the work area.
Leaving the Sign After Work Ends
Temporary warnings should reflect the current workplace condition and be removed when appropriate.
Using a Sign Instead of a Barrier
A warning board should not replace a barrier or access restriction where one is required.
Treating the Board as the Only Control
Maintenance and repair activities may require additional controls depending on the actual hazard.
