How to make your own Safety Hazards Door
- Slides: 8
How to make your own Safety Hazards Door poster 1. Open up slide 2: the blank door poster template. 2. Slide 3 has the pictograms / symbols to represent SAFETY HAZARDS. Choose the most applicable safety hazards that exist in the area. Stick to the PRIORITY HAZARDS i. e. if you only have one container of an Oxidiser then there’s no need to add this symbol. Overcrowding with symbols means the priorities will be lost. 3. Select each hazard you wish to use and COPY and PASTE it onto the ‘Safety Hazards in this area’ section of your poster. Drag it into the required position. 4. Slide 4 contains Dangerous Goods diamonds which may be used to convey more specific information instead of a GHS pictogram if applicable e. g. ‘Toxic gas’ or ‘dangerous when wet’ flammable solid. 5. Select each relevant precautionary measure from slides 5 & 6. Copy and paste into the ‘Precautionary measures required ‘section. Drag into the desired spot. Don’t put a sign on the poster unless it is mandatory to be worn before entering e. g. don’t use the faceshield sign unless it is mandatory to be used FOR ALL TASKS in the area. It is usual to have enclosed footwear, protective clothing (e. g. lab coat/gown) and eyewear as standard attire before entering a chemical laboratory. 6. Add the relevant information in Emergency or Accident section. 7. In the ‘Area Supervisor’ white box, add the relevant facility contact name(s). 8. Include any specific instructions for contractors in the right hand text box. 9. Select and save just your completed poster copy as a new separate powerpoint file. (In ‘Design’ and ‘Page Setup’ select Portrait for slide orientation). Suggest filename includes location, date or version number. It is now ready for printing. 10. Choose a colour printer from the printer options, preferably A 3 paper size from the default in Properties then select paper (A 4 is acceptable). 11. Print & laminate. You may wish to have it printed by the UNSW Green Print Centre for a small charge if you do not have access to a colour printer or laminator. http: //www. greenprint. unsw. edu. au/ 12. Update when any information changes. 13. The last two slides contain door signage which you can use where relevant. It is not usual to include the word ‘animal’ on external facility door notices.
