Burn Hazard Labels

Burn Hazard Safety Labels

In industrial and commercial settings, burn hazards are a significant concern, especially when dealing with hot surfaces and flammable materials. Our collection of burn hazard safety labels, including "Hot Surface" and "Flammable Material" labels, is designed to alert workers and equipment users to potential burn risks, helping create a safer environment.

Burn hazards are prevalent in workplaces where equipment generates heat or where flammable materials are present. These hazards can arise from machinery, pipes, and surfaces that reach high temperatures during operation. Injuries stemming from burn hazards can be severe, often leading to painful injuries, scarring, and even fatalities. Individuals working around or servicing equipment need to be made aware of the risks associated with hot surfaces and flammable materials to prevent accidents.

Burn hazards can result in a spectrum of injuries, ranging from superficial first-degree burns, characterized by redness and pain, to severe fourth-degree burns that damage muscles and bones, requiring extensive medical intervention. Thermal burns, caused by contact with hot surfaces or objects, are common in industrial settings, while chemical burns arise from exposure to corrosive substances, causing damage to skin and underlying tissues. Electrical burns result from contact with live electrical sources and can cause external and internal injuries. Radiation burns stem from ionizing radiation exposure, leading to skin and tissue damage. Flame burns, often caused by fires or explosions, can vary in severity, while scalding burns occur due to contact with hot liquids. These injuries underscore the importance of preventive measures, including proper training, awareness, and the use of protective equipment, to mitigate the risk of burn-related harm.

To address burn hazard communication effectively, standards like OSHA 1910.145, ANSI Z535, and ISO 3864-2 offer guidelines for accident prevention and consistent and clear safety labeling. Our burn hazard safety labels adhere to these standards, utilizing bold fonts, recognizable symbols, and high-contrast colors to draw attention and convey crucial safety information. By using compliant labels, businesses demonstrate their commitment to safeguarding employees and visitors, while also 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 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, standardized 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 of use, 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 burn hazard safety 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.
