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

A 2WE Multi Cylinder Storage Placard Aluminium Sign is a safety sign designed to identify and regulate areas where multiple gas cylinders are stored, particularly those classified under the hazard code "2WE." This code is used to indicate a specific type of dangerous good—Class 2 gases with particular emergency action requirements. The placard ensures that anyone entering the area is aware of the potential risks, helping to prevent accidents, improve emergency response, and support regulatory compliance.

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 "W" indicates there is danger of violent reaction or explosion and full protective clothing must be worn and the spillage must be contained to avoid spillages from entering drains or water courses - The letter "E" (the third part of the code) indicates that evacuation of people from the neighbourhood of an accident should be considered
