Commercial Slip and Fall
IceAlerts® make freezing temperatures visible to pedestrians
and drivers, alerting them to possible icy conditions.
IceAlerts® change color from white to blue as
the temperature approaches the freezing point.
Informational signs, bearing the IceAlert® symbol which states, “BLUE REFLECTORS INDICATE FREEZING TEMPERATURE” are placed at property entrances. In addition, each IceAlerts® pedestrian unit is mounted on a 7″ x 10″ sign which states graphically “BLUE STAR=FREEZING”
Users typically install IceAlert® outside of exit doors so that people leaving a nice warm building are immediately warned that ice may be present. Additional IceAlert® are placed on the property at appropriate locations, on walkways and in parking lots.
People can feel the cold, but it is difficult to tell how cold it is. IceAlert® gives a very prominent blue reflective star when people need the additional information, only where the temperature is near freezing or below.
IceAlert® tells people information they need to know. The change in color makes them more aware of weather conditions, allowing them to change the behavior before they have an incident on the ice.

Roadway System
The Bluestar System™ make freezing temperatures visible to motorists, ahead of the vehicle.
IceAlerts® change color from white to blue as
the temperature approaches the freezing point.
The BlueStar System™ symbol is in motorists “cone of vision” (see next FAQ)
Imagine the roadway stretching out in front of your vehicle. The area you see is called your cone of vision. It includes pavement markings, guideposts, and signage that help you guide your vehicle. Any change in appearance of these markings is both apparent and noticeable.
The Bluestar Roadway System™ can reduce the number and severity of accidents by changing drivers’ behavior.
By giving them real time temperature information that can reflect temperature changes. Compare this to a sign that states, “watch for ice” that is there year round.
The Bluestar SystemTM indicates a potential hazard only when the condition actually exists.
IceAlert® reflectors work as standard white reflective delineators until the temperature approaches the freezing point. Then they turn progressively blue between 38° and 32° F. They are site specific and continuous.
The temperature is reported at each post and is specific to that post. The message is repeated and reinforced by succeeding devices in the series. This information enables the motorist to make better driving decisions.
Yes, motorists find The Bluestar SystemTM easy to understand because an explanatory sign precedes it. In addition, we have found that when the reflectors appear along roadways, local media are eager to educate the motoring public.
The Bluestar SystemTM requires no electricity, pavement cuts, or special posts. It mounts on standard guideposts with hand tools and needs no maintenance beyond occasional cleaning
IceAlert® reflectors are very strong and reliable. Made of sealed injection-molded medical-grade poly-carbonate, they are able to withstand repeated and severe shocks to their face. They will provide years of information to your drivers.
