Check Your Oxygen Signage!

Are you oxygen storage signs up to snuff? NFPA 99 Ed. 1999 8-3.1.11.3 Signs states that precautionary signs must be readable from a distance of five feet and include the following wording, at a minimum:

CAUTION; 

OXIDIZING GAS(ES) STORED WITHIN

NO SMOKING

The sign must be clearly displayed on each door or gate of the oxygen storage room or enclosure. Failure to post a complying sign could result in a tag at F323. 

We've heard that there are a number of signs on the market that don't meet these minimum requirements. Now is the time to check your signs!
