Almost any time you put a hazardous material into a container, you are required by OSHA to label that container. If you store hazardous chemicals in a building or room, you are often required to use a sign.
Our NFPA Signs and Right-to-Know Labels have been used by hundreds of firms to increase understanding of the hazard and increase safety compliance.
In choosing your design, you will need to assess the sophistication, training and patience of the exposed workers. The NFPA diamond, for example, is ideal for firemen. NFPA signs convey, at a glance, the emergency information that a fireman needed in case of a fire. Other workers, however, may need to be educated on the chronic and target organ effects of exposure. For them a built-in key is helpful.
Throughout, your NFPA and Right-to-Know labels and signs need to be integrated with your safety and MSDS training system.
