Radioactive II Diamond - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

The Radioactive II Diamond GHS sign is used to identify packages or areas containing medium-level radioactive materials that pose a moderate radiation hazard. This label, known as Category II – Yellow II, indicates a higher level of radiation than Category I but less than Category III, requiring careful handling and controlled access.

This sign should be displayed on transport containers, storage areas, and designated zones in settings such as nuclear medicine departments, research facilities, industrial sites, and power plants where radioactive materials with moderate radiation levels are present. It is essential during the transport of these materials to ensure safety throughout the supply chain.

The sign’s purpose is to alert workers, transport personnel, and emergency responders to the presence of potentially harmful radiation. This awareness encourages the use of proper protective equipment, safety procedures, and restricted access to minimize exposure risks.

Utilising the Radioactive II Diamond GHS sign helps maintain compliance with safety regulations, promotes responsible handling, and protects people and the environment from the dangers of radiation exposure. It serves as a clear and important warning for managing radioactive materials safely.

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