Even though you've put a mat or cable bridge over the hose to eliminate any trip hazard, you should still put out warning signs.

Depending on where you're working, you don't just need to use them for wfp jobs - ladders on the pavement, for example.

I do now I'm wfp.
I thought it was a right pain at first.  More to think about before you can start work.
Now I just do it automatically.  Takes seconds.  All part of the pro image.

Been preping my van today to go wfp.

Seen some guys using cones and not caution signs, what do you think is best, is either easier if youve used both?

Cheers as ur answers may prevent me making a mistake.

We always use warning signs where there is a potential hazard

Depends how windy it is!
Cones are heavier and so tend to stay in the same place, but if you've got the easily stowed fold-away signs you need to connect both sections at the bottom with a short length of cord or chain which will just skiff the ground and put a weight on that.
Now, this is the K9 cojones . . . http://www.cleantech.co.uk/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=&products_id=646 but isn't the easiest thing to cart around.

Yes.
Where the hose crosses the footpath, I lay black rubber matting with yellow border over it and I put out a yellow sign.  Occasionally, I lay my hose across the road if it's a little used road (e.g. cul-de-sac).  I lay the rubber matting over it then too.  No sign on the road though as it's more likely to be a collision hazard.
