Appendix E Laboratory Signage Information

General

A standardized lab hazard sign has been established at GSFC; its purpose is to warn employees and visitors entering laboratories and other hazardous areas. Hazard warning signs are required by several regulatory agencies and advise individuals who may need to enter an unfamiliar laboratory as to the types of hazards that are present. These signs are also required by emergency response personnel such as the Prince George’s County Fire Department and Wallops Fire Department.

A sign is required at each main entrance to laboratory rooms or complexes, fabrication or integration facilities, workshops, and workrooms with materials not commonly found in an office environment. A sign is not required in offices, break rooms, general purpose assembly areas, rest rooms, or food prep areas. Signs are generated by the personnel responsible for the hazardous area (i.e. Supervisors, System

Owners, Lab and Shop Managers).

A hazard and emergency information sign is to be posted door exterior, facing the corridor. This sign is used by emergency response personnel, GSFC employees, and visitors who may be required to enter the area. The sign identifies hazards within the area, the responsible employee(s), and other persons to be contacted during work hours in the event of an emergency. In the event of an accident, chemical spill, fire or personal injury; assistance from a person familiar with the area may be requested. For after-hours emergencies, contact information must be provided to the Branch, Division, and/or Directorate Safety

Manager, and this information (home and cell phone numbers) available to be provided to emergency personnel.

Consult Safety Division or the WFF Safety Office about other door postings and signs (e.g. radioactive materials, laser hazard, biohazards, oxygen deficiency hazard) that may be required. Signs should be reviewed by the personnel responsible for the posted area at least annually or in the event that pertinent information changes.

Emergency Contact Information

This information assists Protective Services in the event of an emergency and may help to save your research and/or equipment. Include the names of the individual(s) responsible for the space.

• Emergency contact information listed on signs includes:

• Name and phone numbers for the employees responsible for that location.

• GSFC Safety, Medical and Environmental Management, and Facilities Management Division phone numbers.

• GSFC Protective Services emergency phone number.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) hazard identification system uses a color-coded diamond to represent four different hazards.

The different colors represent three different types of hazard that may be associated with chemicals:

Blue indicates health hazard.

Red indicates flammability.

Yellow indicates reactivity.

White represents special hazards such as if a chemical reacts violently with water (W), is an oxidizer (OX), is a simple aphyxiant (SA). No other special acronyms or symbols are permitted, such as CRY (cryogens) or CORR (corrosives).

The numbers in the blue, red and yellow diamonds are used to indicate the severity of the hazard for that category:

0 = no or minimal hazard

1 = slight hazard

2 = moderate hazard

DIRECTIVE NO. GPR 1700.8B Page 19 of 21

08/16

3 = serious hazard

4 = extreme hazard

Label the diamond with the highest number of all chemicals present in the space for each applicable hazard class, and include symbols for all applicable special symbols. The numbers and symbols can be found on the Safety Datasheets (SDSs) under Sections 11 (Health Hazard Information), Section 9

(Flammability), Section 10 (Instability), or as Special Information under Section 9, 10, or 11.
