next group of signs telling about the places in which there is a high level of radiation.For this was invented by a well-known mark: black shamrock on a yellow background.Form labels - triangle.This image is installed in all those places where there is a possibility of contamination or an increased radiation background: nuclear power plants, in the "zone of alienation" that emerged after environmental disasters.
In 2007, the International Organization of Atomic Energy has decided to give a new symbol: a red triangle, which is painted figure of a fleeing man shamrock with radiation, as well as a skull.However, such a radiation warning sign is difficult to call the best.It is quite difficult to understand how, and for manufacturing.In any case, this image should be applied to any potentially unsafe object, building or area of land.
value and features the use of chemical hazard signs
modern life without the achievements of chemistry is hard to imagine.Of course, such materials are more commonly used for the benefit of mankind, but they are no less dangerous for him.So it was invented some signs that say about the transportation or storage of chemicals.
most popular image of a "biohazard".In most cases, it is black and placed on orange (yellow) background.Another well-known image of a skull and crossbones.He says plainly that next to a zone in which there should be.
