Caution Risk Of Explosion Signs help you warn staff, contractors and visitors before they approach explosive materials, storage cabinets, plant rooms or controlled work areas.
Caution Risk Of Explosion Signs warn you, your staff and contractors where explosive materials or ignition-sensitive hazards may be present. Use them on doors, cupboards, cabinets and work areas so people pause, follow controls and avoid unsafe handling.
Where Caution Risk Of Explosion Signs Should Be Fitted
You should install these signs at the point people make a decision: entrance doors, chemical stores, cabinets, cupboards, plant rooms and controlled workspaces. Visibility matters because the warning must be seen before anyone opens, enters, handles or works near an explosion risk.
Viewing Distance Guidance for Explosion Risk Areas
Choose the size by how early someone must react. Smaller signs suit close cabinet checks, while larger formats help you warn people before they cross a doorway, storage aisle or controlled access point.
| Size | Best viewing distance | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| H 210 x W 148 mm | 1–3 metres | Cupboards and cabinets |
| H 297 x W 210 mm | 3–6 metres | Doors and small rooms |
| H 420 x W 297 mm | 6–10 metres | Workshops and stores |
| H 594 x W 420 mm | 10–15 metres | Large access points |
Safety Improvements You Should Expect After Fitting

Caution Risk Of Explosion Signs questions answered
What are Caution Risk Of Explosion Signs used for? They warn people that explosive materials, gases, vapours, dusts or ignition-sensitive hazards may be present, so extra care and site controls are needed before entry or handling.
Is W002 the correct symbol for explosion risk? Yes. W002 is the EN ISO 7010 warning symbol used for explosive material hazards, making it suitable when that specific risk has been identified.
Where should you fit this sign? Fit it where the warning is needed before action is taken, such as on storage doors, cabinets, cupboards, plant rooms, chemical stores and controlled work areas.
Should you choose rigid plastic or self-adhesive vinyl? Choose vinyl for smooth indoor doors, cupboards and cabinets. Choose rigid plastic where you need a stronger sign fixed to walls, doors or exposed workplace surfaces.
Does this sign replace a risk assessment? No. It supports your controls by making the explosion risk clear, but it should sit alongside risk assessment, staff training, access control and safe working procedures.
