Formats and materials for the the CO2 activation handle sign

The base text indicates that this sign may be offered in plastic, aluminum or self-adhesive vinyl depending on the available options. It also mentions two-face V-shaped signs and wall-perpendicular L-shaped signs, depending on the selected materials and formats. The 6 x 6 in and 9 x 6 in formats are listed as the most popular, but other formats can be produced when a special order is placed.

UV-resistant and retro-reflective options for fire signage

An optional UV-resistant lamination can be selected to help preserve colours longer. To improve visibility, the base text also indicates that a retro-reflective option can be added. These options are useful in corridors, technical rooms, mechanical rooms, service areas or locations where lighting and reading angle may vary.

Prevention context for the CO2 activation handle

The base text notes that the Act respecting occupational health and safety, especially section 51, requires employers to take the necessary measures to protect workers’ health, safety and physical well-being. Even when signs are not mandatory in every situation, clear signage helps locate fire prevention and response equipment faster. This identification can help authorized personnel and responders quickly locate the control related to the CO2 system when an emergency or response procedure requires it.

Choosing the right material for indoor or outdoor signs

The material choice depends on the workplace, reading distance and installation location. Plastic can be used indoors or outdoors, but colours may fade faster if the sign is exposed to UV rays. Aluminum is often preferred outdoors or in areas where impacts are possible, while self-adhesive vinyl is generally more durable indoors.

Special-order and custom options for the sign

Please contact customer service for formats other than those offered in the boxes above, for English or bilingual signs, or for custom signage. The base text indicates that some special orders require a delay before reception. This verification is useful when the building requires a specific combination of format, material, language, shape or visibility option.
