Description

This Guide explains the signage requirements for sites containing hazardous substances. 

Signs help keep workplaces, workers and other people safe where hazardous substances are used,
handled, manufactured or stored. They let workers, emergency service workers and visitors know
which hazardous substances are in the workplace, the hazards associated with them, and the first
actions to take in an emergency.
You must display signs if you are storing hazardous substances in your workplace over specific
amounts. To check if you need signs, enter your substances and the amounts you have into the
Hazardous Substances Calculator (the Calculator) available at: www.hazardoussubstances.govt.nz
