Caution biologicalhazard sign

Hazard warning signs are required by several regulatory agencies and advise individuals who may need to enter an unfamiliar laboratory as to the types of hazards that are present. These signs are also required by emergency response personnel such as VUPD or the Metro Nashville Fire Department and have been approved by these organizations as meeting their requirements as first responders.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) hazard identification system uses a color-coded diamond to represent four different hazards.
