Danger - Carbon Dioxide - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Alert personnel and visitors to the presence of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the area, which can pose serious health hazards. CO₂ is a colourless, odorless gas that can displace oxygen, potentially causing asphyxiation, dizziness, headaches, or loss of consciousness in confined or poorly ventilated spaces. The sign emphasizes the need for caution, proper ventilation, and adherence to safety procedures to prevent accidents and injuries.

This sign should be used in industrial facilities, laboratories, food and beverage production areas (such as breweries or cold storage), fire suppression systems, and areas where CO₂ is stored, released, or used. Ideal placement includes cylinder storage rooms, entry points to CO₂-enriched spaces, production areas with CO₂ systems, and confined spaces where CO₂ could accumulate. Proper positioning ensures that anyone entering the area is immediately aware of the hazard and takes necessary precautions, such as wearing appropriate personal protective equipment or monitoring oxygen levels.

Using this sign is essential for preventing CO₂-related accidents, ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations, and fostering a safety-conscious environment. It raises awareness of asphyxiation risks and helps personnel implement proper safety measures when working in or near areas with carbon dioxide.
