Radiation Dangers Symbol Sign

The ISO 21482 Radiation Dangers Symbol Sign displays the internationally recognised supplementary ionizing radiation warning symbol specified by ISO 21482. The distinctive symbol combines the radiation trefoil with radiating waves, a skull and crossbones and a running person, providing a strong visual warning of a potentially dangerous source of ionizing radiation and indicating the need to move away from the hazard.

The ISO 21482 symbol was developed to provide an additional warning for high activity radioactive sources that could cause serious injury or death if a person approaches, handles or interferes with the source. Its graphical design is intended to communicate danger quickly, including to people who may not understand the traditional radiation trefoil symbol on its own.

Suitable for appropriate radiation sources, equipment and locations where a supplementary warning is required, the ISO 21482 Radiation Dangers Symbol Sign may be used in medical, scientific, research, industrial, nuclear and specialist engineering environments. Applications can include areas associated with radioactive sources and equipment capable of presenting a significant ionizing radiation hazard.

The ISO 21482 symbol is intended as a supplementary warning and does not replace the conventional radiation trefoil or other radiation safety signs, labels, access controls and procedures required for a particular installation. Its use should be determined by a competent radiation protection professional and should be appropriate to the type and level of radiation hazard present.

Correct positioning is particularly important with this symbol. ISO 21482 is primarily intended for specific high level radiation sources and should not be treated as a general purpose warning symbol for every location where ionizing radiation may be present. Organisations should ensure that its use forms part of an appropriate radiation risk assessment and radiation protection programme.

The ISO 21482 Radiation Dangers Symbol Sign can assist employers, radiation protection advisers, laboratories, healthcare facilities and industrial operators in clearly communicating serious radiation hazards. It can be incorporated into wider control measures including restricted access, shielding, source identification, monitoring and established emergency procedures.

Manufactured from durable, high quality materials with excellent print clarity and visibility, the ISO 21482 Radiation Dangers Symbol Sign provides a professional solution for displaying this internationally recognised supplementary radiation warning symbol. It helps improve recognition of potentially severe ionizing radiation hazards and reinforces the need to avoid, withdraw from and not interfere with dangerous radioactive sources.
