OSHA “Notice Store Chemicals and Solvents in Containers Provided for This Purpose” sign: many sizes, materials & options

French notice sign for chemicals and solvents

The EOAV311 French "Avis Déposer et entreposer les produits chimiques et solvants dans les contenants prévus à cette fin" sign reminds users that chemicals and solvents must be placed in appropriate containers provided by the site or by internal procedure. It suits workshops, laboratories, maintenance rooms, janitorial rooms, cleaning areas, warehouses, storage cabinets and sectors where dedicated containers must be used to limit deposit, transfer or temporary storage errors. Its notice message helps organize the area and reduce confusion between products, waste, solvents and empty containers. This sign supports prevention and visual order without replacing safety data sheets, container labelling, internal procedures, training or controls required by the site.

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 EOAV311 chemical storage sign

The EOAV311 sign can be placed near a chemical cabinet, cleaning station, solvent area, laboratory counter, collection bin, technical room or return point where products must be deposited in specific containers. It suits commercial, industrial, institutional or municipal environments that use chemicals or solvents and want to remind users of the instruction at the handling point.

Material choice for a solvents notice 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 or in a protected location. 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, in workshops or in areas where impact is possible. UV-protecting lamination may slow fading, without preventing it permanently.
