Why Are Door Hazard Signs Important?
To maintain a safe work environment, laboratories, and activity spaces are required to post proper signage at each entrance. This informs those who may enter of potential hazards in the space, proper PPE requirements, and contact information, should an emergency arise.
Door signs are also used to inform first responders to better prepare them to address any hazards in case they need to enter a room.
