Hazardous Substance Labels

If you see a lorry on the road with a certain symbol, you should know what it means. This symbol denotes that the lorry is transporting hazardous materials that could endanger both the driver and other road users.What does the hazardous materials symbol represent?The hazardous materials symbol is a diamond-shaped sign representing the type of hazardous material being transported. Letters, numbers, or pictograms that indicate the specific hazard, such as flammable liquids, explosives,corrosive or toxic substances, may be included in the symbol. It is critical to recognise this symbol and understand the potential hazards associated with the materials being transported. Our Hazardous Substance Labels are intended to ensure the safe transport of hazardous materials. These diamond-shaped warning signs and labels provide specific instructions for handling and transporting hazardous materials. To ensure maximum safety and compliance, our labels are designed in accordance with UK government regulations and industry best practises. For all of our GHS labels, which are internationally recognised for labelling hazardous objects in transit, we also offer easy peel labels.
Whether you are replacing a sign, or signing a new area, we recommend a walk-though audit of the space, keeping notes of your observations and decisions. Use our Sign Size Guide and Safety Sign Materials Guide to identify the best sign(s) for your needs. To help you choose, download our Free Workplace Safety Checklist.
