Our
easy-to-read signs that remind employees of workplace
risks can help create a safer work environment—and reduce potential
liability for your business. Among Chief Financial Officers surveyed by a major
U.S. insurer, 4 of the top 5 most-preferred safety interventions involved issues
that can be addressed with workplace signs.*
Why are electrical and battery
charging safety signs and labels important?
The Canadian Center for
Occupational Health and
Safety explains that the two primary risks are from hydrogen gas formed when the
battery is being charged and the sulfuric acid in the battery fluid. Recharging
batteries generates hydrogen gas that’s explosive in certain concentrations in
air, so adequate ventilation is essential to prevent an explosion. Also, no
flame, burning cigarette, or other source of ignition should be permitted in the
recharging area.**
However,
many workers don’t recognize this hazard because battery recharging is such a
common activity in many workplaces, making
them more vulnerable to exposure and injury. Prominent OSHA and ANSI warnings
can help protect your employees – and your business.
