To ensure a safe work environment, laboratories and other high-risk areas at VCU must display proper signage at each entrance. These signs are essential for informing anyone entering the space about:

Potential Hazards – Identifies chemicals, biological agents, radiation, or specialized equipment present.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Requirements – Specifies the necessary safety equipment for entry.
Emergency Contacts – Lists responsible personnel and their contact information.

In addition to informing lab personnel and visitors, door signs are critical for first responders. In an emergency, firefighters, medical teams, and safety personnel rely on these signs to quickly assess risks and respond safely and effectively.
