Biological hazard warnings signify an actual or potential presence of a biohazard. They identify equipment, containers, rooms, materials, experimental animals, or any combination of these, which contain, or are contaminated with, viable hazardous agents. Design Requirements: BioHazard signs and labels need to contain the symbol at the left, as well as the signal word BioHazard or Biological Hazard. They must meet OSHA Standards 1910.145(e) and 1910.1030(g)(1). Employee training should properly address the meaning and significance of both the term 'Biohazard' and the biohazard symbol.
