Description
Use this Chemical Storage Sign to identify an approach where people need a general warning that chemicals are stored in the area. The verified portrait artwork has a yellow field, black double border, black warning triangle with a drum pictogram, and the exact words CHEMICAL STORAGE AREA. It does not name the chemicals, state a dangerous-goods class, give a UN number or HAZCHEM code, prescribe PPE, restrict entry or provide emergency contacts. Place the sign next to the identified storage hazard where it is clearly visible to people approaching the area. Typical mounting points include the entry to a chemical room, cage, cabinet zone or dedicated store. Check door swings, stored stock, glare and competing notices, and repeat the warning at another approach when one face cannot be seen from every entry. Do not cover container labels, emergency information or prescribed placards. The portrait catalogue sizes are 225 × 300 mm, 300 × 450 mm and 450 × 600 mm. Polypropylene is preselected as the practical rigid option. Self-adhesive vinyl suits a prepared smooth surface, 5 mm Corflute suits temporary identification, and Colorbond steel provides a stronger mechanically fixed face. Optional holes apply only to rigid materials; lamination and reflective film appear only with a compatible vinyl selection. This general warning face is not the prescribed outer HAZCHEM placard and is not a substitute for bulk or packaged-goods placards, GHS container labels, safety data sheets, a hazardous-chemicals register, or any required manifest and site plan. Placard and manifest duties depend on the chemical classification, container, quantity and jurisdiction. Confirm segregation, ventilation, spill containment, fire protection, access control, emergency procedures and the exact sign or placard format through the site chemical-risk process.
This fixed Chemical Storage Area face is a general approach warning. It does not identify the stored chemicals and is not an outer HAZCHEM placard, dangerous-goods information placard, container label, manifest or product certification. Confirm the exact signs and controls required for the chemicals, quantities and jurisdiction.

Frequently asked
What is printed on this Chemical Storage sign?
The verified portrait artwork has a yellow field, black double border, black warning triangle with a drum pictogram, and the exact words CHEMICAL STORAGE AREA. It does not identify a chemical, dangerous-goods class, UN number, HAZCHEM code, required PPE or emergency contact.
Where should a Chemical Storage Area sign be installed?
Place it next to the identified storage hazard where it is clearly visible to people approaching the area, such as at the entry to a chemical room, cage, cabinet zone or store. Check door swings, sightlines and every normal approach, and keep the face separate from labels or placards that emergency services must read.
Is this sign a HAZCHEM or dangerous-goods placard?
No. The generic yellow warning face is not the prescribed outer HAZCHEM placard and does not contain the shipping name, UN number, HAZCHEM code or ADG class labels used on bulk or packaged-goods placards. Where placard threshold quantities are exceeded, use the exact placards required by the applicable WHS regulation and ADG Code.
Does it replace chemical labels, safety data sheets or a manifest?
No. Container labels, current safety data sheets, the hazardous-chemicals register and any required manifest or site plan are separate controls. The storage system may also need segregation, ventilation, spill containment, fire protection, restricted access and emergency procedures based on the chemicals and quantities present.
Which material, size and mounting option should I choose?
Polypropylene is the default rigid option. Self-adhesive vinyl suits a clean smooth surface, 5 mm Corflute suits temporary identification, and Colorbond steel provides a stronger mechanically fixed face. The portrait sizes are 225 × 300 mm, 300 × 450 mm and 450 × 600 mm. Confirm any prescribed sign or placard dimensions separately; optional holes apply only to rigid materials.
What volume discounts apply?
Automatic volume pricing is 5–9 signs: 8% off, 10–24 signs: 15% off, 25–49 signs: 24% off, 50–99 signs: 32% off, 100+ signs: 40% off. The configurator is the source of truth and updates the unit price as quantity changes.
