French OSHA “Danger Toxic Fumes” sign in various sizes, materials, languages & optional features

French "Danger Gaz toxiques" toxic fumes sign

The EOD120 French "Danger Gaz toxiques" sign identifies an area where toxic gases, fumes or vapours may present a serious hazard for workers and visitors. The printed French message means "Danger Toxic Fumes" in English and is suited to chemical rooms, laboratories, mechanical rooms, industrial facilities, process areas, spaces where work may release gases and sectors where a possible exposure must be visible before access. Its direct message helps draw attention before entering the area, opening a container, performing maintenance or working near gas release. This sign supports chemical danger signage without replacing safety data sheets, internal procedures, gas detection, training, ventilation, protective equipment or site-specific obligations.

Several materials, sizes and formats are available from the drop-down menu.

UV-protecting lamination, retro-reflective sheeting or photoluminescent finishing can also be requested depending on the need. Please contact customer service for sign formats other than those offered in the options above, as well as for English or bilingual signs. Please allow four (4) weeks to receive special orders. If you cannot find the sign you need, please contact our customer service team to obtain custom signage.

Applications for the EOD120 French toxic fumes sign

The EOD120 sign can be installed in industrial, commercial, institutional, municipal or laboratory environments where toxic gases may be present, generated, stored or released. It helps make the risk visible before a person enters an area, approaches a process, opens equipment or performs work near gas release.

Material choice for a toxic fumes sign

Choosing a sign depends on the right material, reading distance, work environment and required format. Self-adhesive vinyl is suited to clean, smooth and dry surfaces, especially indoors. Plastic can be used indoors or outdoors, but colours may fade faster if the sign is exposed to UV light. Aluminum is often recommended outdoors or in areas where impact is possible. UV-protecting lamination may slow fading, without preventing it permanently.
