Biohazard Floor Signs

Not all substances in the workplace are easily recognized as biohazards. Often times, biological and chemical elements are unknowingly dangerous and need to be handled with utmost care. Biohazards are biological substances that are harmful to living organisms and are in forms of viruses, toxins, or medical waste. Biohazard Floor Signs communicate specific hazards to others and keep them safe from entering into harmful environments.

OSHA states that Biohazard Signs are used to "to signify the actual or potential presence of a biohazard and to identify equipment, containers, rooms, materials, experimental animals, or combinations thereof, which contain, or are contaminated with, viable hazardous agents" (1910.145(e)(4)). Mount Caution Biohazard Floor Signs inform others to proceed with caution and warn against potential hazards in the immediate area. Warning Biohazard Floor Signs indicate that those potentially exposed to the substances need to take precautions, immediately.
