At the request of the Risk Management Advisory Council, DOHS has developed an ongoing program to label all laboratories and areas where hazardous operations occur or where hazardous materials are used with a uniform laboratory hazard warning sign. The purpose of the sign is to assure that adequate warnings and emergency phone numbers are clearly visible outside of a hazardous area. These signs identify restricted areas to visitors and will communicate to emergency responders the hazards present in the area. The signs also indicate that proper eye protection is required prior to entering the room.

To request a laboratory sign be installed, please contact Kevin Eichinger by e-mail or call him at extension 2103.
