Hazard Signs

Hazard Signs

Hazards Signs, otherwise known as Safety Signs or Danger Signs, are an essential safety measure when storing and handling dangerous goods. These signs are generally used in addition to Dangerous Goods Signage, to warn people of dangers or prohibited practices in the work area.

Hazards signs are divided into Danger Signs and Warning Signs. Danger Signs provide warning to potentially life threatening conditions, while Warning Signs draw attention to hazardous situations which are not life threatening. Signage options include No Smoking No Ignition Sources signs, Danger: Chemical Storage signs, Acids Only or Alkalis Only signs and Pesticide signs.
