Warning - COSHH Store - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Hazard signs alert personnel, visitors, and emergency responders that a storage area contains substances hazardous to health (COSHH), such as chemicals, cleaning agents, solvents, or other hazardous materials. The sign communicates that the area poses health and safety risks if proper precautions are not followed and ensures that only trained and authorised personnel access the store. It also highlights the need for proper handling, storage, and use of personal protective equipment (PPE).

This sign should be placed in laboratories, manufacturing facilities, workshops, cleaning supply storage rooms, chemical stores, and any location where hazardous substances are stored or handled. Ideal locations include the entrance to the storage area, doors, and any access points that personnel or visitors might use. Proper placement ensures that anyone approaching the store is immediately aware of the potential hazards and follows appropriate safety procedures, including using PPE and adhering to COSHH regulations.

The wording “COSHH Store” clearly identifies the type of hazard, while “Warning” signals that caution is required. This combination ensures that staff and visitors recognize both the presence of hazardous substances and the need for safe handling practices.

Overall, using this sign is essential for preventing chemical accidents, promoting workplace safety, ensuring regulatory compliance with COSHH regulations, and fostering a culture of hazard awareness in environments where hazardous substances are present.
