IMPORTANT NOTE:

This is NOT an official listing and is NOT meant to include 100% of all REQUIRED postings, labels, and signs.  It is an effort by one individual to identify those OSHA 1910 std’s that requires some type of sign, posting, or label in order to better prepare a workplace in regards to OSHA signage and posting requirements.  The user MUST refer to the entire OSHA standard that is applicable to their workplace, as many of these requirements are ONLY applicable under certain situations and some will apply to ALL General Industry workplaces.  1910 Subpart T - Commercial Diving Operations has NOT been evaluated and NO requirements associated with Subpart T are included in this document.

For example, where employers are engaged in activities which are physically dispersed (see §1903.2(b)), the citation may be posted at the location to which employees report each day. Where employees do not primarily work at or report to a single location (see §1903.2(b)), the citation may be posted at the location from which the employees operate to carry out their activities. The employer shall take steps to ensure that the citation is not altered, defaced, or covered by other material. Notices of de minimis violations need not be posted.

1910.145(f)(7) Warning tags. Warning tags may be used to represent a hazard level between "Caution" and "Danger," instead of the required "Caution" tag, provided that they have a signal word of "Warning," an appropriate major message, and otherwise meet the general tag criteria of paragraph (f)(4) of this section.

 

1910.145(f)(8)(i) Biological hazard tags shall be used to identify the actual or potential presence of a biological hazard and to identify equipment, containers, rooms, experimental animals, or combinations thereof, that contain or are contaminated with hazardous biological agents.
