S CSSC Initiative:

Lab Hazard Signage

C C
S Standardization
The Issue: Inconsistent lab signage makes hazard
identification diffi cult and time-consuming
for researchers or visitors

Our Solution: Create a standardized system of hazard signs

for the entire department, customized for
individual labs, and created by CSSC to
ensure consistency and visibility.

This Facility Has Hazardous/Toxic Chemicals In Use And In Storage With

Additional Hazardous Physical Agents Present in Equipment

NFPA Hazard Class: C

Max Flammable Storage: 24 Gal Banerjee Laboratory

Entry Requirements Hazards Present Hazards are clearly labeled

Specific Requirements for lab entry, and combined in one place for easy
including PPE, are clearly visible to identification
anyone before entering lab space

Safey attire (lab coat and long

pants, closed-toe shoes) and lab
safety glasses to be worn at all
times.

Instructions/Tips
1. Fill out one template per lab. Red templates are for wet
labs, blue for instrument labs, green for teaching labs, and
yellow for biological labs. For labs with multiple doors,
duplicate the slide to have one slide per door
2. When finished, delete all unneeded slides and email back
to [email protected] with your group included in the
file name and email. The CSSC will print the first round of
door signs and distribute them. Future signs should be
printed on 11 x 17 paper.
3. For unique lab circumstances or any other questions,
please send us an email and we will help you figure it out.
