Hazchem & Dangerous Goods Signage – New Zealand’s Specialists

When your business handles hazardous chemicals, compressed gases, flammable fuels, spray booth operations, or high-risk battery storage, the right signage is more than a legal requirement – it’s a core part of workplace safety.

At Emmjay – New Zealand’s largest online safety sign store, we specialise in supplying a comprehensive range of Hazchem and Dangerous Goods signage, including large signs, custom panels, vehicle placards, and site-specific solutions. With fast dispatch, nationwide delivery, and free freight on orders over $100, we make it easy to keep your site safe and compliant.

Why This Signage Matters

Hazards must be clearly marked to protect staff, contractors, visitors, and emergency responders. Our colour-coded dangerous goods signs, Hazchem panels, and chemical warning signs communicate:

• The type of hazard
• Emergency response actions
• Protective and precautionary measures

Proper signage is critical for legal compliance, site safety, and risk management across a wide range of industries.

• WorkSafe NZ – Hazardous Substances Management
• EPA NZ – HSNO Act guidance
• UN Globally Harmonized System (GHS)

Examples of Where Signage is Essential

• Fuel and Gas Storage Sites:
  Sites handling LPG, acetylene, oxygen, or other compressed gases require signs such as “Flammable Gas – Class 2”, UN number placards, or “No Smoking – Dangerous Goods Store” to clearly indicate high-risk zones.
• Chemical Storage & Processing:
  Areas storing acids, oxidisers, or toxic substances benefit from chemical handling signs, Emergency Information Panels (EIPs), and class diamond signage, supporting both HSNO and transport compliance (NZS 5433 Transport of Dangerous Goods).
• Automotive Spray Booths & Paint Shops:
  Signs such as “Flammable Liquid – Class 3”, “Hot Work Permit Required”, or “Respirator Required” alert staff to solvents, vapours, and flammable liquids.
• Battery Storage & BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems):
  Lithium-ion or sodium-ion battery systems present chemical and electrical hazards (often Class 9). Dedicated battery hazard signage ensures clarity in high-risk zones.
• Transport of Dangerous Goods:
  Vehicles moving hazardous substances require DG diamonds, UN number placards, and Hazchem code signage, mounted on tankers, trailers, and freight containers according to NZS 5433 readability and durability standards.
• Site Audits & Compliance Checks:
  HSNO inspections or WorkSafe audits will scrutinise signage visibility, placement, and minimum lettering size (50 mm capitals, 40 mm lowercase). Emmjay signs meet these standards.

How Our Signage is Used & Displayed

Choose materials and formats tailored to your environment:

• Aluminium Composite (ACM): Outdoor, permanent signage for chemical stores, tank farms, and vehicle parks.
• Self-Adhesive Vinyl: Ideal for drums, equipment, indoor walls, or restricted-space applications.
• Rigid Polypropylene / PVC: Perfect for indoor rooms, labs, spray booths, or battery banks.
• Corflute / Temporary Panels: Short-term use on construction sites or temporary worksites.

Fixing options: Pre-drilled holes, mounting tape, cable ties – we provide what’s needed for secure installation.
Placement: Signs should be clearly visible, near hazards, and sized for readability from the appropriate distance (WorkSafe Signage Guidelines).
