1.4 Diamond - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Used to identify and label substances and articles classified as Division 1.4 explosives, materials that present only a minor explosion hazard. These items are designed in a way that any explosive effects are largely confined to the package and are unlikely to cause significant damage or projection hazards if ignited during transport or handling.

This sign should be displayed on packaging, storage areas, transport vehicles, and workspaces where 1.4-classified explosives are present. Typical environments include ammunition storage facilities, military bases, fireworks distribution centres, and industries dealing with small arms cartridges, signal flares, or pyrotechnic devices.

Warn handlers, transport personnel, and emergency responders of the presence of explosive materials, even if they are considered low risk. It prompts the use of careful handling procedures, secure storage, and adherence to legal transport regulations.

Using the 1.4 Explosive Diamond GHS sign ensures proper hazard communication and supports safety protocols by making the nature of the contents immediately clear. It plays a vital role in reducing accidents, managing emergency response, and complying with national and international transport and chemical safety standards.

UN regulations (including ADR, IATA and IMDG) stipulate that all dangerous goods must be clearly identified.
