Toxic Gas Diamond - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Used to warn of the presence of gases that are hazardous to human health when inhaled, even in small quantities. These gases can cause serious illness, unconsciousness, or death, and may act quickly without obvious warning signs, making proper identification critical for safety.

This sign should be placed on gas cylinders, transport containers, storage areas, and laboratories or industrial zones where toxic gases such as chlorine, ammonia, carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide, or phosgene are stored or used. It is especially important in chemical plants, manufacturing facilities, medical research labs, and waste treatment operations.

The primary function of this sign is to alert workers, emergency responders, and visitors to the specific danger of inhaling the gas. It prompts the use of ventilation systems, gas detection monitors, and personal protective equipment (PPE) such as respirators. It also ensures only trained personnel handle or enter areas where these gases are present.

Using the Toxic Gas Diamond GHS sign helps prevent exposure-related incidents, supports hazard communication standards, and reinforces workplace safety by clearly indicating the need for caution and protective measures in high-risk environments.

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