anda con cuidado

Explanation:
My feeling is that the register is far more colloquial and the language more figurative...which is common in business., so I would opt for something like this:
"si nadie formula preguntas...pues anda con cuidado/cuidado/ojo/peligro! Puedes tropezar/puedes caerte" en el vacío figurativo.
