Gas Cylinder Storage - Danger - Compressed Gas - No Smoking - No Unauthorised Personnel - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Clearly warn all personnel about the potential hazards associated with stored gas cylinders. Compressed gases can be highly flammable, reactive, or toxic, and improper handling or unauthorised access can lead to fires, explosions, or serious health risks. The sign communicates the dangers and specifies safety restrictions to prevent accidents.

These signs are particularly important in laboratories, industrial facilities, workshops, hospitals, or any site where gas cylinders are stored or used. By placing the sign directly on storage areas or gas cylinder cages, it ensures that everyone approaching the area is aware of the hazards and the rules, including the prohibition of smoking and restricting access to authorised personnel only.

In addition to promoting safety, the sign helps organisations comply with health and safety regulations regarding the storage of compressed gases. Proper signage reduces the risk of accidental ignition, inhalation, or mishandling, protecting both employees and property while demonstrating adherence to safety protocols.

For maximum effectiveness, the sign should be prominently displayed at all cylinder storage areas, at eye level, and in a location visible from all approaches. Clear, bold wording and hazard symbols ensure that everyone immediately understands the risk, maintains safe behaviour, and restricts access to trained personnel only.

This sign states: GAS CYLINDER ZONE - Danger, Compressed gas cylinders - No smoking - No naked lights - no entry to unauthorised personnel - Keep well ventilated
