Why You Need an LPG HAZCHEM Sign

Hazchem signs are legally required in New Zealand for workplaces, containers, or vehicles storing certain hazardous substances over set quantities. Their primary purpose is to provide:

• Vital hazard information – type of gas or chemical

• Emergency response instructions – what to do in case of an incident

• Precautionary and protective measures – for employees, visitors, and responders

The Liquified Petroleum Gas Sign is crucial not only to alert personnel but also to guide the fire brigade and emergency services in determining the safest and fastest response.

Placement & Compliance Guidance

When to use:

• Required when LPG quantities meet the WorkSafe signage threshold (e.g., ≥50 kg indoors) or for bulk tanks/cages needing emergency information panels.

Where to install:

• Vehicle entrances, gates, LPG store locations, fences, doors – anywhere visible to responders on arrival

• Signs should be legible from 10 m and securely mounted

Tip: For transport, remember that HAZCHEM panels differ from Class 2 placards (NZS 5433). HAZCHEM panels are for fixed-site emergency info, while Class 2 placards are used on vehicles transporting LPG, showing the diamond symbol and UN number.
