Flammable Gas - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Warn that the area contains or is near gases that can easily ignite and cause fires or explosions. Flammable gases, such as propane, methane, or hydrogen, pose significant hazards because their vapors can spread quickly and ignite with even a small spark or heat source.

The main purpose of this sign is to alert workers, visitors, and emergency responders to the presence of flammable gases so they can take necessary precautions like avoiding open flames, smoking, or creating sparks in the area. It also emphasises the need for proper ventilation and safe handling procedures to prevent accidents.

This warning is commonly found in industrial plants, gas storage facilities, laboratories, and areas where flammable gases are stored, used, or transported. The sign helps organisations meet safety regulations and protect both people and property from fire and explosion risks.

The sign should be placed in clearly visible locations near gas cylinders, storage rooms, pipelines, or any area where flammable gases are present, ensuring that anyone entering or working nearby is immediately aware of the hazard. Regular maintenance of the signage is important to keep the warning effective.
