 Biological
hazard warnings signify an actual or potential presence
of a biohazard. They identify equipment, containers, rooms,
materials, experimental animals, or any combination of these,
which contain, or are contaminated with, viable hazardous
agents.
Design Requirements: BioHazard signs and labels
need to contain the symbol at the left, as well as the signal
word BioHazard or Biological Hazard. They must meet OSHA
Standards 1910.145(e) and 1910.1030(g)(1).
Employee training should properly address the meaning and
significance of both the term 'Biohazard' and the biohazard
symbol.
