- the Lab Manager or Safety Representative;
- the date of the last certified chemical inventory;
- the emergency instruction "Dial 911";
- GHS pictograms for the hazards present (electrical, laser, fog/smoke).
The placard is generated through the UCI Chemicals application. Reference: Laboratory Door Placards Reference Guide (PDF) and the Labels & Signs page.
The placard must be reprinted whenever a hazard, an active piece of equipment, a contact, or an inventory date changes.
