Signage System 150227 Revised: 2/27/2015 of 25

MSU Hazard Warning Signage System

Purpose Montana State University (MSU) is dedicated to providing safe and healthy facilities for all employees, students, and visitors, as well as complying with federal and state occupational health and safety standards. Administrators, faculty, staff and students share the responsibility to reduce potential physical and health risks encountered in the performance of duties requiring entry into potentially hazardous areas including, but not limited to educational, research and diagnostic laboratories; laboratory support locations; confined spaces; workshops; food service areas; storage areas and various other workspaces or areas (collectively referred to as “exposure areas”) at MSU. Montana State University believes that a Hazard Warning Signage System (HWSS) significantly advances this objective. This program is designed to identify and designate responsibilities for the implementation and maintenance of such a system.

Role & Scope Montana State University shall establish a uniform process for warning individuals who enter University potentially hazardous areas about the known potential hazards associated with specific spaces. An HWSS attempts to set the conditions under which the various signage components are to be posted. It is important that all employees, visitors and emergency responders are aware of the hazards identified by applicable signs. The HWSS shall be implemented for all applicable facilities at MSU entities. Employees, students, and visitors who are authorized to enter any exposure area with identified hazards must be provided access to the HWSS definitions. The definitions will also be supplied to applicable emergency response and maintenance personnel. Contractors working in MSU buildings may access HWSS definitions through the campus department administering their contract, or the Safety & Risk Management (SRM) office. A complete copy of the HWSS may be requested from SRM, and is viewable on the SRM website at http://www.montana.edu/wwwsrm/EHSresources.htm The HWSS is designed to fulfill regulatory signage requirements as well as alert users and visitors to specific hazards located in individual potentially hazardous areas. The signs do not list every hazard and do not replace basic safety training or practice.

Information Assistance will be provided by the Safety & Risk Management Department to any Department or individual requesting guidance to satisfy implementation of the HWSS. SRM may be contacted at 406-994-2711.

Duties and Responsibilities Safety & Risk Management shall:

1. Identify a standard system for the hazard warning signage at MSU; 2. Establish standardized symbols and definitions for recognized hazards for posting on doors and/or other

appropriate locations; 3. Assist managers, supervisors, Principle Investigators/Lab Managers or other responsible parties in

identifying exposure area hazards and the appropriate labels to complete hazard warning signs; 4. Maintain a supply of the signage system components; 5. Establish the initial hazard warning elements and data collection instruments; and 6. Provide copies of this document to emergency responders and authorized personnel.


MSU Police Department shall: 1. Provide emergency contact numbers to ranking emergency responders upon request during emergency

events involving exposure areas. Building Supervisors shall:

1. Assure that signs are completed for each exposure area in which hazards have been identified; Managers, Supervisors, Principal Investigators and Laboratory Managers shall:

1. Request Hazard Warning Signage through SRM; 2. Ensure that hazard labels reflect the current use and/or potential hazards of the exposure area; 3. Ensure that visitors are aware of the hazards indicated by the HWSS; 4. Ensure that the sign is maintained in complete and readable condition at all main access points to the

workspace; and 5. Supply current emergency contact information for the placard. Listed emergency contact personnel must

be familiar with the hazards in the posted location. The corresponding supervisor or manager must be one of the emergency contacts. Contact information must be updated immediately upon a change in staffing through the Designated Department Representative and SRM.

6. Coordinate annual audits of exposure area signage to assure signs are current and meet with an SRM representative for review;

7. Contact SRM to obtain additional warning signs or labels as necessary to maintain current departmental signage; and

8. Notify SRM when individual signs are altered, damaged or missing. Employees shall:

(1) Be aware of the meanings of the signage labels; and (2) Use appropriate safety precautions based upon the supplied information.

Sign Requests Sign Requests can be made through the SRM department via the Hazard Warning Sign Request Form as found on pages 7-9 of this packet. All requests will be reviewed, and follow-up questions may be asked for clarification prior to sign composition, distribution and installation.


Types of Signs

There are three types of signs that are available for posting hazards:

Hazard Notification Placard The 8.5” x 14” hazard notification placard illustrated in this section (Figure 1) is intended to warn personnel, students, and visitors that an exposure area exists and the hazards present. The specific hazards are indicated by symbols and/or hazard warnings. Signs will be posted at the entrance(s) to each functionally separate exposure area. Entrances to laboratory prep rooms that serve multiple labs or require different symbols from the main lab will also be posted. This placard notates a warning or dangerous area containing each of the following:

1. Type of hazard: Caution or Danger 2. Entry Requirements for room access 3. General Hazards for the room contents 4. Contact information for Emergency purposes and access 5. Date Posted 6. Room description 7. Location (Building and Room Number) 8. NFPA Placard (See Figure 2)

This placard is to be placed outside each door of a room that has chemical, physical, or health related hazards within.

Symbols identifying the type(s) of hazard will be printed on the placard. The available Hazard Pictograms are shown below next to the definitions of conditions warranting posting of these labels. If more than one hazard exists in an exposure area, the appropriate symbols (most critically listed first until placard is full) should all be displayed on one placard.

Specific Hazard Placard If specific hazards are present, each specific hazard will be noted with an independent placard placed outside each door that enters the room (As depicted and defined under Category D below).

NFPA Placard Occasionally, a stand-alone NFPA warning sign - illustrated in Figure 2 - is intended to warn personnel, students, visitors, and namely emergency responders of National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) ratings for the exposure area. This placard is to be posted outside of each entry door into the exposure area and will be between sizes 4” x 4” and 12” x 12”. You may request an NFPA placard through the Chemical Inventory program, and is required if you have chemicals within the exposure area.

If all 5 of the following categories exist as listed under NFPA 704, the NFPA placard is not required by law:

1. Under emergency conditions, no hazard beyond that of ordinary combustible materials exists; and 2. Materials that will not burn under typical fire conditions, including intrinsically noncombustible

materials such as concrete, stone, and sand; and 3. Materials that in themselves are normally stable, even under fire conditions; and 4. Materials are essentially nonirritating; and 5. Materials are nonreactive below 30 cal/g with water.


However, if hazards are perceived without meeting any rating of 1 or more, a placard with the following ratings can be requested for the exposure area:

1. Health (Blue) = 0 2. Flammable (Red) = 0 3. Instability (Yellow) = 0 4. Specific Hazard (White) = “ “

Hazards and Requirements

Entry Requirements Entry Requirements may be required to access an exposure area. These are noted in the table below under Category A.

Hazards Hazards have been divided into two categories:

(A) federal or state hazard warnings as noted in the table below under Category B (General Hazards); and (B) chemical hazards that meet the Globally Harmonized System requirements as noted in the table below

under Category C (Chemical Hazards).

When space is a limiting factor, the most critical pictograms and those required by law will be placed on the placard.

Specific Hazards Separate signage as required by federal or state agencies must be independently displayed on each entry door to a room containing particular hazards. These are noted in the table below under Category D.
