Hazard Signs FAQs
What are hazard signs used for?
Hazard signs warn workers, patients, and visitors about dangerous substances or conditions—such as asbestos, radiation, or biohazards—so they can take precautions and avoid exposure.
What standards do hazard signs need to follow?
Depending on the hazard, signs may need to follow OSHA and ANSI design guidelines, NFPA standards, or state regulations like California Prop 65 for chemical exposure warnings.
Which materials are best for hazard signs?
Aluminum signs are long-lasting outdoors, while plastic and vinyl signs are cost-effective for indoor use or short-term applications. Reflective or laminated options improve visibility in low light or high-traffic areas.
Where should hazard signs be posted?
Signs should be placed at entry points, doors, storage areas, equipment, and disposal stations where hazards are present, ensuring they are seen before exposure occurs
Can I order custom hazard signs?
Yes. Many facilities choose custom health hazard signs with specific warnings, chemical names, pictograms, or company branding to fit their safety programs and remain compliant.
