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

A 2XE Multi Cylinder Storage Placard Aluminium sign is used to identify the storage of multiple gas cylinders that fall under the "2XE" hazard code as defined by the ADR (European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road) system. The code "2" indicates Class 2 gases (which include flammable, toxic, and non-flammable compressed gases), while "XE" refers to a specific emergency action code that guides first responders on how to deal with an incident involving these gases. Using this placard ensures that everyone on-site is aware of the potential dangers and knows the proper precautions.

A 2XE placard where large quantities of gas cylinders are stored, particularly those that present a higher level of hazard due to their flammability, reactivity, or toxicity. Common locations include construction sites, industrial plants, laboratories, gas supply depots, and storage cages. It should be mounted on or near the gas cylinder storage area, such as on fences, walls, or cages, where it can be easily seen by workers, safety personnel, and emergency responders.

The "X" in the emergency code indicates that water must not be used in the case of a fire, which is crucial for first responders to know. This helps prevent dangerous mistakes in emergency situations and ensures the correct protocols are followed quickly.

In summary, a 2XE Multi Cylinder Storage Placard Aluminium sign is a critical component of hazardous materials management. It ensures legal compliance, communicates essential safety information, and protects both personnel and emergency responders. Its robust construction and clear hazard messaging make it ideal for outdoor or high-risk gas storage areas that require long-lasting, weatherproof signage.
