Use the Comments section for additional contacts or updates.
Select the lab's safety hazards, using the criteria provided. EHS will review these hazards and may request further information.
By default, EHS will provide a printable PDF of your sign. While color prints are preferred, grayscale is acceptable.
If your lab does not have printer access, request a printed copy of the sign by checking the “send printed copy” box on the request form.
EHS will send a printable PDF of your sign to the provided email address, usually within 5 business days.
EHS will send printed signs within 15 days.
Plastic sleeves to hold door signs: If your lab does not have a plastic adhesive sleeve to hold the door sign, one can be requested from EHS. Submit a request in the Lab Label Request on the EHS Safety Portal.
