Hazardous Sign – Class 6.1 Toxic Sign

Class 6.1 Toxic Sign – Toxic substances are those that are either likely to cause serious injury or death or damage to human health when ingested, inhaled or in contact with the skin. Examples include arsenic, cyanide, acids, lead compounds and various pesticides.

The ‘Class 6.1 Toxic Sign’ is a valuable tool to help protect personnel’s health and safety and is not a replacement for the preventive measures needed to minimise or remove hazards. The toxic hazard sign of class 6.1 features a symbol of the skull and crossbones above the word toxic accompanied by a big, bold number 6.1. The sign features a white backdrop with black text and symbols.

Note on 120 mm size: The 120 mm option is not compliant for transport placards, as NZ regulations require a minimum of 250 mm per side for vehicle use. However, it is very useful for small-scale applications such as cylinder cages, storage cabinets, and indoor warning signage where space is limited.

Note on larger sizes (400 mm – 800 mm): While 250 mm is the minimum required size for transport placards, larger signs (400 mm, 600 mm, 800 mm) are recommended for warehouses, depots, bulk storage areas, and outdoor use. The extra size improves long-distance visibility and makes hazards clear to staff, visitors, and emergency responders.

NZS/AS 1319:1994 advocates simplicity and clarity in safety signage. To be effective, they should be easy to read and interpret at a glance.

The Standard is about the use of legible text and appropriate, simple symbols.

By simplifying the message, it reduces the risk of misinterpretation, which increases the chances of the sign’s warning or instruction being followed.

Enhancing the signs visibility through placement and colour

Placement and visibility will play a crucial role in the efficiency of safety signs.

The standard states that signs must be positioned near the hazard they are warning about, which ensures that the safety message is relevant. Also it advocates the use of contrasting colours for the background and lettering. This attention to the colour scheme will increase visibility and readability from a reasonable distance, which ensures the message is accessible.
