Understanding chemical warning signs – and what actions they require you to take – is a key part of workplace safety, especially in environments where handling hazardous materials is part of employees’ day-to-day responsibilities.
Chemical hazard classification and signage have been internationally standardised under the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). The system features a series of symbols designed to communicate the presence of chemicals and the risks associated with them. This can include things like flammability, toxicity, skin irritation, and environmental harm.
Despite the fact that GHS symbols were made to be easy to understand universally, a recent BMC Public Health study – which focused on Tehran hospital staff – found that employee perception and comprehension of chemical warning signs can fluctuate greatly.
These discrepancies in perception are normally due to differences in workplace practices, safety culture, and training across various organisations.More...
Desk work is a big part of daily life for most of us. Whether we’re fully back in the office, working remotely, or alternating between the two, getting work desk ergonomics just right is essential for our long-term health.

In movies, quarantine labels and signs are often associated with outbreaks from top secret labs, alien landings, or some other disaster that you have seen on TV. Its not that we are under the impression that quarantine labels in disaster movies ever did prevent the spread of the zombie apocalypse, but in our reality, they really can be a great help to keeping people safe (perhaps not in a zombie apocalypse, but we can cross that bridge when we get to it).
Our quarantine labels are designed to alert people of a hazardous area that must remain isolated. Without them, the risk of contamination and infection is real - not just something you see on your TV screen. That's why we supply high-quality quarantine labels that help you caution off contaminated animals, food or other products. To see our full collection of quarantine labels click here. Or to have a closer look at some of our products, keep reading.
(Quarantine Area Sign)
Let people know that an area is under quarantine with a high-quality sign. This should help prevent accidental access to an area that is intended to be isolated.
(Quarantined tape)
Quarantine tape deters people from entering a contaminated area. Make clear boundaries between people and contaminated matter. Despite what you see on TV, this is actually very effective.
(Quarantine sign: Do not use equipment)
Hazardous equipment can become a danger if it is not correctly labelled. Clearly communicate that within this quarantined area, equipment is not to be used.

A warning sign is a great way to communicate that there is a hazard present that could become a danger. However, this hazard may change or need to be moved and that is why a magnetic warning sign is so beneficial. Our magnetic warning signs are made from high-quality magnetic materials that allow them to be easily applied to a metal surface.
The magnetic warning sign can be applied directly to a metal canister or surface without the risk of it damaging the product - which is ideal, the last thing you want is to make a hazardous container even more of a hazard! You can remove the magnetic warning sign as quickly as you apply it which allows for them to be reused time after time.

(Flammable hazard warning diamond label)
This magnetic flammable sign is a great, simple way to warn people they are in the presence of a fire risk.
(Compressed gas hazard warning diamond label)
Compressed gas can be a hazard if it is not handled correctly. Be sure it is clearly labelled with this magnetic sign.
Having magnetic warning signs gives you the flexibility to put your signs in a number of places. Without the need for nails or any other adhesives applying a magnetic warning sign is quick for anyone needing a sign to go up quickly and efficiently.
If you have questions about our magnetic warning signs or any of the other products we supply, do not hesitate to get in touch. Our helpful team is always happy to help you find exactly what you're looking for, give us a call on, 0800 3761 693.
