Radiation (UV IR RF) Labels

In equipment or environments where radiation may be a concern, manufacturers and workplaces must take proper safety measures. Clarion Safety’s range of labels, including "UF Radiation," "IV Radiation," and "RF Radiation" labels, is designed to help alert individuals to radiation hazards and needed precautions, fostering a safer environment and informed decision-making to avoid potential hazards.

Types of radiation hazards can include Ultraviolet (UV), Ionizing (IV), and Radiofrequency (RF) radiation. UV radiation, emitted by sources like the sun and UV lamps, can lead to skin burns and increase the risk of skin cancer. IV radiation, commonly associated with medical procedures like X-rays, can cause cellular damage and increase the risk of cancer. RF radiation, produced by wireless devices and communication systems, can result in tissue heating and potential long-term health effects.

Injuries associated with equipment requiring radiation labels include both immediate and long-term health effects. Exposure to radiation can lead to skin burns, tissue damage, and in severe cases, radiation sickness. Statistics underscore the importance of proper safety measures in radiation-prone environments. According to OSHA, incidents related to radiation exposure continue to pose risks in various industries. By using our high quality radiation labels and adhering to stringent safety protocols, manufacturers and workplaces can significantly reduce the risk of radiation-related injuries.

To address the challenges of radiation hazard communication, regulatory bodies like OSHA, ANSI, and ISO provide guidelines for effective safety measures, including labeling and warning signs. Our radiation labels follow these guidelines, using clear text, recognizable symbols, and distinct color codes to convey radiation hazard information accurately. By incorporating compliant labels into your products and workspaces, you demonstrate a commitment to safety and compliance, enhancing workplace well-being and minimizing liability risks.

Machine safety signs and labels play an essential part in risk reduction, and can help you meet OSHA requirements. It’s important to consider the latest ANSI and ISO standards and today’s best practices for safety communication and risk reduction when selecting labels for your application. You can rely on Clarion Safety’s ANSI, ISO, and OSHA warnings expertise for help. We specialize in supplying product manufacturers and workplaces with the most up-to-date, standards compliant labels. In fact, over the past 30+ years, we’ve helped to write the standards you want to meet.
With Clarion Safety label products, you can select from a variety of label format options (multi-symbol and text, symbol only, symbol and text, and these wordless formatted labels) as well as symbol options to best fit the potential hazard. Keep in mind that the use of symbols in warnings and instructions is essential to the ISO 3864-2 standards and is encouraged in the ANSI Z535.4 standards. Our labels use internationally recognized ISO 7010 or ISO 7010-styled symbols.
Do you have questions on risk or hazard assessments? Our engineers at our subsidiary, Machine Safety Specialists (MSS), and our warnings experts at Clarion Safety can work independently, or with you and your team to ensure your machinery is effectively labeled and fully complies with U.S. and/or international standards. If you need assistance ensuring your products or machinery are properly labeled and fully compliant with the applicable U.S. and international safety standards, contact us today.
At Clarion Safety, we understand the importance of safety label durability. Labels need to stand up to your product’s expected environment, such as exposure to UV, high temperatures, or chemicals. Potential accidents – and your company’s liability exposure – depend on your label material choices. We offer the finest adhesives, base materials and overlaminates, including premium quality 3M materials.
Our radiation hazard labels have been developed and tested to withstand abrasive chemical washdowns, water, heat, and strong ultraviolet light. We have a variety of standard material options available, including options for both indoor and outdoor use. If the standard choices that you see don’t meet your requirements, we’re standing by to find a solution; we offer a wide range of custom material options.
