Radioactive I Diamond - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

The Radioactive I Diamond GHS sign is used to identify packages or areas containing low-level radioactive materials. This category, known as Category I – White, indicates that the radiation level is minimal and considered safe under normal handling conditions. However, the sign still serves a vital purpose by signaling the presence of radioactive content.

This sign should be used on transport packages, storage containers, and in medical, industrial, or research environments where small quantities of radioactive material are present, such as in nuclear medicine departments, radiopharmaceutical transport, or laboratories working with controlled isotopes.

The primary function of this sign is to inform handlers and personnel that radioactive substances are inside, even if the radiation risk is low. It promotes awareness, encourages careful handling, and ensures that packages are stored and transported according to safety regulations.

Using the Radioactive I Diamond GHS sign helps maintain transparency and safety in environments dealing with radioactive materials. It ensures that even low-risk sources are clearly labeled, reducing the chance of accidental exposure and supporting proper monitoring and compliance procedures.

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