We have an excellent selection of Hazard Warning Diamonds to allow you to safely mark hazardous substances when they're in storage or during transport. These diamond shaped labels can be used to on hazardous substances and goods, such as flammable materials, compressed gases, explosive hazards, toxic substances, corrosive chemicals and many more!

Here are some of the Hazard Warning Diamonds we have to offer:

Self Adhesive Hazard Warning Diamonds

The most common and well-recognised product in our range is our large selection of Self-Adhesive Hazard Warning Diamonds. These warning labels are made from self-adhesive vinyl and are available in a range of different sizes to meet your specific requirements. These Hazchem labels are produced to BS 5609 (for seawater use), ADR (for the road), RID (for rail), IATA (for air) and IMDG (for marine) standards.

Magnetic Hazard Warning Diamonds

We don't just supply an excellent range of self-adhesive hazard warning labels, we also offer a terrific range of Magnetic Hazard Warning Diamonds! These magnetic hazard labels are suitable for use on transport vehicles and steel containers that are used to transport hazardous good or substances and can be removed when the load has been delivered. They can also be re-used or repositioned for future deliveries. Just like our self-adhesive diamonds, these magnetic labels are produced to BS 5609, ADR, RID, IATA and IMDG standards, and label in this range include highly flammable, compressed gas, radioactive and many others. To view our range of Magnetic Hazard Warning Diamonds, please click here.

Hazard Warning Diamonds with Write-on-Panels

While our standard hazard warning diamonds supply a sufficient level of warning instructions, some operations may require an additional tobe added. That is why we supply a large range of Hazard Warning Diamonds with Write-on Panels. These hazard warning diamonds match the standards similar to our Magnetic and Self-Adhesive Hazard Warning Diamonds.

A common perception is that all focus on electricity in the rail industry tends to be on track electrification of the railways. This is understandable considering that all media attention is concentrated on large civil engineering projects, such as HS2 or improvements on the Great Western, Midland Main Line or Trans-Pennine, to name a few. However, this is only one part of rail demand for electricity on rolling stock, ground equipment, mobile equipment or other infrastructure on over-ground and underground trains or urban transport (trams and light railways).

Existing track electrification in the UK comprises two separate systems. The majority of electrified track is powered by 25,000 V AC, while some of the older structures (known as “Third rail system”) operates on 660/750 V DC. Both these high voltage systems can hit the headlines, if contact with live lines result in fatalities or serious injuries from electrocution, or from electrical arcing flashing in the near vicinity of the track.

However, the majority of rail vehicles and other rail application equipment operate on low voltage electricity. This can include lighting, wall sockets, air conditioning, battery charging and fans on carriages. All such electronic equipment designed for control, regulation, protection or power supply on rail vehicles has to comply with EN50155 2007. A further standard EN50121 regulates the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of equipment on rolling stock, signalling and telecommunications to enable safe systems of work and operation.

Other low voltage (LV) uses on the rail network are numerous. These include on train stations; information systems; public address systems; ticket barrier entry systems; heating, ventilation and fire alarms; concourse power and lighting. Platform equipment can include; metering systems; track side degreasers; de-icer control equipment; signalling and surge protection; cable shielding systems; electrically operated; catering equipment; and power traction and control systems. At substations there are numerous transformers, electric switchgear, circuit breakers, isolators, converters and allied power supplies.

All these low voltage applications still carry dangers of electrocution on contact with exposed electrical equipment or appliances, which can lead to cardiac arrest, muscle, nerve and tissue damage, thermal burns (off hot surfaces) or electrical burns.

Here, at Label Source, we have supplied a selection of identification products, such as health and safety signs, safe operation signs, electrical hazard warning labels, PAT test labels, plant maintenance labels and signs, microwave oven safety labels, cable and conductor markers. Examples are 110V labels for battery systems, 230 V stickers for power lighting and wall sockets, 400 V markers for air conditioning, air compressors and battery charges, and 650 V labels for two phase signalling power supplies.

Accidents at work, especially if involving fatalities, continue to be reported widely in local, regional and national media. While those on a larger scale, and sometimes accompanied by a greater level of notoriety, such as the Bangladesh building collapse in April 2013, tend to have intense international coverage and scrutiny.

In a wide range of health and safety legislation and guidelines, a duty of care applies both to employers and employees for the safe operation of workplace equipment. Such equipment, machinery or plant must be maintained and fit for purpose, the working environment should be safe, suitable training should be undertaken, operating procedures should be rigorous and relevant personal protective safety equipment should be provided and used. Accidents tend to occur when one or more of these tend not to be observed.

Our range of health and safety labels can assist in identifying risks and hazards at work and prohibited activities, promote employee welfare, and to indicate the use of personal protective equipment (PPE).

Potential hazards can be clearly identified. These can include electrical, biological, radiation, temperature (high, low or hot surfaces), chemical (such as toxic, corrosive, harmful or irritant), and mechanical (pinch points, moving blades, finger trap, or crush) risks in the workplace.

Mandatory labels emphasise the need to use the protective equipment supplied to prevent injury to eyesight, hearing, face, fingers, hands, body or feet. Also, others cover the need to read the manual or handbook for the equipment or for greasing or lubrication points on equipment.

Prohibition stickers advise of actions which may be dangerous, such as reaching over or into equipment, or from smoking or use of naked flames.

For further information on these safety labelling stickers, our comprehensive product ranges can be located in the following label categories; warning symbol labels; engineering labels; safety labels; laminated safety labels; custom safety labels; and Ansi labels.
