Danger Chemical Irritants Signs warn staff, contractors and visitors before they handle or enter areas containing irritant chemicals, helping reduce skin, eye and respiratory exposure
Danger Chemical Irritants Signs warn you that chemical irritants may be present and contact, vapour or residue could cause harm. They help staff, cleaners, contractors and visitors recognise risk quickly in laboratories, stores, cupboards and handling areas.
Where Danger Chemical Irritants Signs Should Be Fitted
You should install these signs at chemical cupboards, lab entrances, cleaning stores, mixing benches, cabinet doors and access points where irritants are used or stored. Place them before the hazard, not after it, so people see the warning before touching containers or entering the work area.
Practical Viewing Distance Guidance
Choose the size by how early you need people to react. Small signs suit close cabinet viewing, while larger formats work better on doors, stores and wider approach routes where the warning must be seen before entry.
| Size option | Best viewing use | Practical distance |
|---|---|---|
| H 210 x W 148 mm | Cupboards, cabinets, small doors | Up to around 5 metres |
| H 297 x W 210 mm | Stores, labs, room entrances | Up to around 8 metres |
| H 420 x W 297 mm | Large access doors, busy handling areas | Up to around 12 metres |
Safer Behaviour Around Irritant Chemicals
Once fitted in the right position, this sign helps you slow people down before they open cupboards, lift containers or enter handling areas, making PPE checks and safer chemical handling more likely.
✅ Staff recognise irritant risk before contact
✅ Visitors avoid entering uncontrolled areas
✅ Supervisors reinforce safer COSHH routines

Danger Chemical Irritants Signs questions answered
What are Danger Chemical Irritants Signs used for? They warn people that irritant chemicals may be present, helping them pause, check controls and avoid unnecessary contact before handling substances or entering the area.
Is W071 the correct ISO code for this chemical irritant sign? Yes. W071 is the EN ISO 7010 warning symbol for a substance or mixture presenting a health hazard, used here with the Danger Chemical Irritants message.
Where should I use vinyl instead of rigid plastic? Use self-adhesive vinyl on smooth, clean indoor surfaces such as cupboards, cabinets and internal doors. Choose rigid plastic where the sign needs more strength or longer-term fixing.
Does this replace chemical container labelling? No. This is a workplace warning sign for locations and access points. Chemical containers still need the correct CLP labelling and safety data information where required.
Should I choose Danger or Warning for chemical irritants? Use “Danger” where you want a stronger entry-point warning because irritant chemicals are present and people need to take precautions before access or handling.
