Oxidising Agent Diamond - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

The Oxidising Agent Diamond GHS sign is used to identify chemicals that can cause or intensify fires and explosions by releasing oxygen or other oxidising substances. These materials may not be flammable themselves but can accelerate combustion when in contact with flammable or combustible materials.

This sign should be displayed on containers, storage areas, and transport vehicles holding oxidising agents such as hydrogen peroxide, potassium permanganate, nitrate compounds, and other similar substances. It is commonly used in laboratories, chemical manufacturing plants, warehouses, and industrial facilities where oxidisers are handled or stored.

The purpose of this sign is to alert personnel, emergency responders, and anyone nearby about the presence of oxidising substances, encouraging strict handling protocols, safe storage practices, and the elimination of incompatible materials nearby. This helps reduce the risk of fire or explosions caused by chemical reactions.

Using the Oxidising Agent Diamond GHS sign is essential for maintaining a safe working environment, preventing accidents, and ensuring compliance with safety regulations governing hazardous materials. It clearly communicates the potential danger and promotes proper awareness and precautionary measures.

UN regulations (including ADR, IATA and IMDG) stipulate that all dangerous goods must be clearly identified.
