Flammable Material Signs
Flammable Material Signs for Storage Areas, Process Zones, and Fire Prevention
Flammable material signs communicate the potential for fire-related injury wherever flammable liquids, gases and solids are stored or handled, and reinforce the behaviors that prevent ignition. Wholesale Customize Labels's flammable signs use the internationally standardized flame symbol, W021 in ISO 7010, paired with ANSI Z535.2 signal word formats, so the hazard reads clearly indoors and outdoors, to employees, contractors and emergency responders. OSHA's flammable liquids standard, 29 CFR 1910.106, governs how these materials are stored, and clear signage at storage rooms, cabinets and dispensing areas supports the safe practices the standard requires.
Flammable Signs, GHS Pictograms, and NFPA Diamonds: What Goes Where
Three visual systems cover flammable hazards, and they are not interchangeable:
- Facility signs (this category) warn people in an area, using ISO 7010 symbols and ANSI Z535 formats
- GHS pictograms appear on chemical containers under OSHA's Hazard Communication standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200, using the red-bordered flame diamond
- NFPA 704 diamonds rate hazards for emergency responders on tanks and buildings - see our hazardous material signs
A complete program uses all three where each applies. Facility signs are the layer people see first, from a distance, before they reach containers or placards. Related categories include fire safety signs and explosion hazard signs.
