Clearly Identify Areas Where Chemical Waste Is Prohibited

Chemical waste may require specific handling, storage or disposal procedures rather than being placed in general waste areas or disposed of at unsuitable locations.

Installing a Chemical Waste Prohibited Sign provides a clear visual reminder that chemical waste must not be left or disposed of in the identified area.

Position the sign where it can be easily seen before waste is deposited, such as near waste collection points, storage areas, bins or designated disposal locations.

Suitable for Industrial and Waste Management Areas

This sign is particularly useful in workplaces where different types of waste need to be separated or controlled.

It can help distinguish areas intended for general waste from locations where chemical waste is specifically prohibited, supporting clearer workplace waste-management procedures.

Materials & Mounting Options

Choose from a range of materials to suit the installation location, including laminated adhesive vinyl and rigid sign options.

Adhesive signs are suitable for clean, smooth surfaces. Rigid signs can be installed on walls, fences, posts or other suitable structures using appropriate fixings.

Choose the material and installation method according to the environment and mounting surface.

Choosing Your Sign Size

Choose the sign size according to its installation position and required viewing distance.

Smaller signs can be suitable for bins, doors, cabinets and close-range waste collection points. Larger signs provide increased visibility across industrial sites, storage areas and waste-management facilities.

Refer to our viewing-distance guide below for help selecting an appropriate size.

Customisation Options

Need different wording for your site?

We can customise the sign with site-specific wording or instructions to suit your chemical or waste-management requirements.

Custom sizes and layouts are also available. A design fee may apply for custom artwork or wording.

Workplace Safety & Use Notes

This sign communicates that chemical waste must not be disposed of or left in the designated area.

The controls required for chemical waste, hazardous substances and workplace waste management will depend on the substances involved and the particular workplace. Signage should be used alongside the site’s applicable procedures, storage requirements and other safety controls.
