Hands off, feet off, or foot off ?

Hi,

I know there is a phrase or idiom: hands off, which means do not touch.
Is there a similar phrase or idiom as: feet off or foot off, which can mean do not step on something?

Thanks very much.

This isn't an idiom, but you often see "NO STEP" written on components of machines that must not be stepped on, flaps on the wings of aeroplanes, for example. That's the closest that I can think of to what you ask - but it's not the sort of thing that would ever be said aloud.
