2SE Cylinder Storage Placard Aluminium - Retro-Reflective - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Aluminium 2SE Cylinder Storage Placards are required as a critical part of hazardous material identification and storage safety protocols. These placards clearly label storage areas that contain 2SE gas cylinders, which often involve substances that are flammable, toxic, or reactive under certain conditions. By providing immediate, visible identification of the specific contents and associated risks, these placards help ensure proper handling procedures and emergency response readiness.

The use of aluminium as the placard material offers several practical advantages. Aluminium is corrosion-resistant, weatherproof, and durable, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, including harsh industrial environments. Its rigidity ensures the sign remains flat and legible over time.

This placards also play a vital role in ensuring regulatory compliance. Organisations dealing with pressurised gases are required by law (such as under OSHA, GHS, or local HSE guidelines) to properly mark storage areas. The 2SE designation helps workers and emergency personnel identify the type of gas and apply the correct safety measures, such as using protective gear, maintaining safe distances, or following specific firefighting procedures.

The number indicates the type of equipment suitable for fire fighting and dispersing of spillages - In this case "2" indicates water fog - in the absence of fog a fine spray must be used
The letter S indicates there is danger of violent reaction or explosion and that breathing apparatus (for fire only) must be worn and the spillage must be diluted
The letter E (the third part of the code) indicates that evacuation of people from the neighbourhood of an accident should be considered
