Overview

Our asbestos hazardous waste sign printing starts with one job: the sign marks where asbestos is present, or the controls that go with it. It earns its place in waste storage, removal work areas and buildings with known asbestos.

Asbestos hazardous waste sign printing: which material

There is a board for each kind of spot in our asbestos hazardous waste sign printing range:

  • 3mm Foamex, a rigid PVC foam board that screws or sticks up easily and is happiest indoors or out for a season
  • 3mm Dibond, aluminium skins on a solid core, the one to pick for a sign that stays outside for years
  • self-adhesive vinyl, which sticks flat to smooth walls, doors, glass and machine guards

Indoors, Foamex or vinyl is plenty; for years outdoors, Dibond is the one.

Reading the sign

It reads "Asbestos Hazardous Waste". Yellow triangle, black border: the shape everyone reads as "watch out".

Putting it up

At the way in and on the item or enclosure too. Mark the store and the route to it, so the warning is seen before anyone opens a door.

The right size for asbestos hazardous waste sign printing depends on the reading distance. Reading distance is worked out from the sign’s short side: about a metre for every 25 mm, the distance factor from ISO 3864-1. That makes A4 to about 8 m, A3 to about 12 m, A2 to about 17 m and A1 to about 24 m. Anything read from a distance or a moving vehicle wants the larger sizes.

Match the sign to what is actually stored, and update it if the contents change.

COSHH and the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 both expect areas holding hazardous substances to be marked, so nobody walks in without knowing the risk.

Send a print-ready PDF, build it in the online designer, or pay for our artwork service (you get 1 design and 2 rounds of changes). Whichever you pick, a person checks the file before it prints. Every asbestos hazardous waste sign printing order is made to order and dispatched from the UK. Delivery to a UK mainland address is £7.95, or free once the order passes £100 after any discount (artwork fees are not counted). Mainland Highlands postcodes add £10; Northern Ireland, the islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, Scilly and the Isle of Wight are quoted. Full details are on the delivery page.

Also worth a look: chemical and hazard signs and everything in safety signs. Stuck on the choice? Our guide to safety sign colours helps.

Which size do I need?

A safety sign must be large enough to read from where people will see it. Our conservative guide, based on the distance-factor method in ISO 3864-1, is about 1 metre of viewing distance for every 25 mm of sign height (the shorter side). Use it with your own risk assessment.

SizeReadable from up to about
A4 (210 × 297 mm)8 m
A3 (297 × 420 mm)12 m
A2 (420 × 594 mm)17 m
A1 (594 × 841 mm)24 m

Well lit or internally lit signs can be read from further away; dim areas need larger signs.

Questions

Quick answers about asbestos hazardous waste sign printing.

Which size of Asbestos Hazardous Waste sign can be read from across the room or yard?

Measure the distance first, then match it: 8 m calls for A4 (210 × 297 mm), 12 m calls for A3 (297 × 420 mm), 17 m calls for A2 (420 × 594 mm) and 24 m calls for A1 (594 × 841 mm). Traffic, dim corners or glare all justify going one size bigger. The largest, A1 (594 × 841 mm), is the choice for wide open spaces.

Has ISO 7010 got a symbol for "Asbestos Hazardous Waste"?

Not for that exact wording. Instead, the words are printed next to W001, the ISO 7010 general warning symbol, so the hazard is still clear at a glance.

Where is the best place to put the "Asbestos Hazardous Waste" sign?

Put it at the way into the area and on the item or enclosure itself. Walk the route yourself and make sure it is seen from the direction people come.

Is there a legal rule behind the Asbestos Hazardous Waste sign?

COSHH and the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 expect stores and areas holding hazardous substances to be marked. That way people know the risk before they walk in. For the "Asbestos Hazardous Waste" sign, how many you need and where comes down to your own risk assessment.

Why is the Asbestos Hazardous Waste sign in these colours?

A yellow triangle with a black edge always means a hazard is ahead. The "Asbestos Hazardous Waste" sign uses that standard layout, so people read its meaning before the words.

Will the Asbestos Hazardous Waste sign survive outdoors?

Yes, if you order it in Dibond, which cope with rain. Foamex is better kept indoors or somewhere sheltered. Pick the material in the options before you order.

Asked by buyers

How much will the Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign set me back?

£5.02 is where the Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign starts, set up as A4 (210 × 297 mm) and self-adhesive vinyl on the Saver speed. Change the size, material, extras, quantity or speed and the total on the page moves straight away. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout, with delivery the only thing that can be added. Delivery anywhere on the UK mainland is £7.95 an order, and it costs nothing once the goods come to £100 or more after any discount code (design and artwork fees are not counted).

Is delivery ever free?

It is £7.95 for the whole order, not per item, and free once the goods reach £100 after any discount code; design or artwork charges are left out of that £100. On its own the opening price of £5.02 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero. A mainland Highlands postcode puts a single £10 on the order. Northern Ireland has its delivery priced before you pay, and so do the Channel Islands, the Scottish islands, Scilly, the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. On its opening option, Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.

If I buy the Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign today, when will it leave you?

As the page first opens, the speeds for the Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign are Express 2 working days, Standard 4 and Saver 6, counting Monday to Friday and skipping bank holidays. The count begins once we have your order and a file ready to print. A bigger size or a different material can move it by a day either way; each speed shows its own days as you choose. Tracking arrives by email on the day it ships, and the courier usually takes one to three working days from there.

Vinyl, Dibond or Foamex: which should we pick for an Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign?

"Asbestos Hazardous Waste" might go up at a building being refurbished, so the choice comes down to the surface and the weather. Vinyl is a sticker version for glass, doors and smooth paint. Foamex is a light plastic board, best kept indoors or somewhere sheltered. Dibond, an aluminium composite, is the long-life choice for outdoors and hard-wearing spots. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

How big does our Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign have to be to read across a room or yard?

Stand where someone first needs to read "Asbestos Hazardous Waste" and pace out the gap to where it will hang. Then match that number: up to 8 m for A4, 12 m for A3, 17 m for A2 or 24 m for A1. Dim corners or people on the move call for one size bigger. Those distances follow the ISO 3864-1 distance-factor method (25 mm of height per metre) and sit alongside your risk assessment, not in place of it. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all.

What will people understand when they see an Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign?

Its job is to flag up a hazard: "Asbestos Hazardous Waste" is laid out as a warning sign, built around a black-edged yellow triangle. The picture is W001 from ISO 7010 (general warning sign), which gets the point across to visitors who read little or no English. Those colours and shapes come from the 1996 Safety Signs and Signals Regulations, which is why they look familiar.

I need several signs, some in different sizes. How do I buy them?

Set up the first size, type how many you need next to Add to basket, then go back and set up the next size as another line. Every price you see is for one sign, and the quantity box does the multiplying. Paying for artwork? It is charged once per line, not per item, and the option to reuse artwork from another basket item adds no second fee. For big numbers, ask on our Get a quote page. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On its opening option, Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.

How much does an A2 (420 × 594 mm) sign cost?

From £9.33, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Material by material, it is 3mm Foamex at £42.91, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £61.17 and self-adhesive vinyl at £9.33. Add £7.95 for UK mainland delivery, or nothing at all once the goods reach £100. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. Material choices for Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

Can a private person buy a single sign?

Yes. One is enough, and you do not need a business name or an account to check out. The opening price is £5.02, and any bank card will do. On its own the opening price of £5.02 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero. A person still checks your file before it is printed, just as for a big order. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On its opening option, Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.

We are kitting out a hall with several different signs. Can they all go in one order?

Yes. Put each sign in the basket with whichever size and board suits its spot, then pay once at checkout. One delivery charge covers the whole order, and it drops to nothing when the goods reach £100 after any discount code. Picking the same board for every sign gives the set a matching look; "Asbestos Hazardous Waste" comes in A4, A3, A2 and A1. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.

How much for the biggest size, A1 (594 × 841 mm)?

From £15.12, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Material by material, it is 3mm Foamex at £63.13, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £88.40 and self-adhesive vinyl at £15.12. Add £7.95 for UK mainland delivery, or nothing at all once the goods reach £100. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. For reference, Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

I live in the Scottish Highlands. Will the Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign cost more to send?

The whole UK is covered. Outside it, sadly, we cannot deliver. Mainland addresses in the Highlands pay one extra £10 on the order, even when delivery would otherwise be free. For Northern Ireland, and for the Channel Islands, the Scottish islands, Scilly, the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man, we tell you the delivery cost before you pay, so message us your postcode on the Contact page or our Get a quote page. Choose Saver and this sign leaves us after 6 working days; Express brings that down to 2. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. On its opening option, Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.

Is there a quicker turnaround for this sign?

Work back from the day you need it. Express takes 2 working days to get the Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign out, against 6 on Saver, and costs £6.68 on the opening option rather than £5.02. Add up to three working days for the courier, plus any time you need to finish the file. Cutting it fine? Put your date in the question box before you order.

Will anyone look at my file before it is printed?

Every file gets a human check for size, bleed and resolution, and we contact you about any problem before printing. Nobody can know your details better than you, so double-check names, numbers and dates: we print what is supplied, and work begins once the order and file are confirmed. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On this page, Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign starts from £5.02.

Which file formats can I upload?

A PDF made at the size you ordered works best, with the fonts embedded or turned into outlines. AI, EPS and SVG are fine too, as are high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF images. Word, PowerPoint or Canva designs can be used, but save them out as a full quality PDF where you can. Attach up to 3 files of up to 25 MB each on the product page, or order first and send them afterwards; we email you a link. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. For reference, Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

How many pixels does a photo need to print well on this sign?

Roughly 7,016 pixels across and 9,933 down for an A1 (594 × 841 mm) design, which is 300 dpi. Things read at arm's length need that 300 dpi at full size to stay crisp. Text and logos are safest as vector art, which never goes fuzzy. Pictures saved from a website or social media are nearly always too small, and our file check will point out any that could print blurred. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm). For reference, Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Can the wording on an Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign be changed, or our logo added?

A school can add its crest to "Asbestos Hazardous Waste", a club its badge, a shop its name. Choose typesetting (£15) if you know the words, or design from your brief (£35) if you would like us to lay it out; each comes with one first draft and two rounds of changes. Have your own finished file? Upload it free and one of our team will look it over. Keep the symbol and safety colours unchanged so the sign still reads the right way. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

Does the Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign come in a peel-and-stick version?

Yes: self-adhesive vinyl is one of the material choices, and that version is simply a sticker with a backing to peel off. Use it on smooth things like glass, doors, cupboards, machines or painted plaster. Clean and dry the surface first, then smooth it on working out from the middle. If the wall is rough or dusty the sticker will not grip well, so go for one of the boards. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. On its opening option, Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.

What thickness is the Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign, and does it feel sturdy?

The sticker version, in self-adhesive vinyl, is only a film, so it sits flush on a door or wall. Every rigid option measures 3 mm. Foamex is a lightweight PVC foam board. Dibond has aluminium on both faces around a plastic middle, so it stays flat and firm but is easy to fix. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. On this page, Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign starts from £5.02.

We are putting up a full set of signs at our premises. Which ones sit well next to this one?

Two good companions for it are Caution Ammonia Sign and Biological Hazard No Smoking Sign. Each has a page of its own with every size, material and a live price, and picking one material for all of them makes the wall look like a matching set. Put the lot in a single basket and you pay one delivery charge, which drops to nothing when the goods reach £100. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

It gets dark early in winter. Can people still read the Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign in the evening?

Only if a light falls on it. The Foamex, Dibond and vinyl sticker versions are printed without any reflective or glow-in-the-dark layer. So for a church car park, a school path or a yard used on winter evenings, put it beneath a lamp that is already there, or add a light. If your risk assessment says a sign has to reflect or glow, buy that one from a firm that makes them. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. For reference, Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Will an Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign cope with rain and wind outdoors?

"Asbestos Hazardous Waste" can go outside as long as you match the material to the job. For a sign that stays out for years, Dibond is the one to choose. Foamex will manage a sheltered spot, such as a porch or under a canopy, but it is really an indoor board. Strong sun slowly fades any print, so glance at outdoor signs every so often and swap any that have become hard to read. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

What is the easiest way to put up an Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign?

It depends what "Asbestos Hazardous Waste" is going on. Brick or plaster: screws through holes near the corners, washers under the heads, and a light hand (Foamex especially). Painted doors and smooth walls inside: foam tape or sticky pads, no drilling needed. Fences and railings: two or four holes, then cable ties. Glass and glossy panels: the vinyl version, pressed on after a wipe and a dry. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

Which material is cheapest for the Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign?

Taking the smallest size, A4 (210 × 297 mm), as the example: self-adhesive vinyl at £5.02, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £40.79 and 3mm Foamex at £27.79. Larger sizes follow a similar pattern, and the full grid sits in the size table further up the page. Think about where it is going first: a cheap material in the wrong spot can end up costing more. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. For reference, Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Do we legally have to display an Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign?

Not in every case. The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 require employers to put up safety signs where a risk is left over once other controls are in place. So whether you need "Asbestos Hazardous Waste" on display, and where it goes, comes out of your own risk assessment. A sign adds to other safety measures and never takes their place. The symbol on this sign follows ISO 7010, reference W001.

Which cards do you take, and is paying online safe?

You pay by debit or credit card when you check out, and you can do it as a guest without making an account. Card details are handled by Stripe, a specialist payment company, so the full card number never reaches us or sits on our system. Printing starts after payment goes through and your file has been checked. If your group needs a price agreed before anyone pays, ask for a quote instead. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. For reference, Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Do I have to register before I can buy?

No. Guest checkout is fine, and card payments go through Stripe, so a debit card or a credit card both work. If you choose to open an account while checking out, My Account keeps your past orders. Guest or not, you get an email confirming the order and another with tracking once it is sent. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. For reference, Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Can I send this sign back if I no longer need it?

Not for a change of mind. This sign is made for your order, and goods made to your specification fall outside the 14-day cancellation right (reg. 28(1)(b) of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). You can still cancel and get all your money back before production begins. Anything faulty, damaged or wrong is covered by the Consumer Rights Act 2015, and we reprint it or refund you. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. For reference, Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

I am not sure which options to pick for this sign. Can someone advise me?

Of course. Tell us three things: where this sign will go, whether it is for one day or for years, and your deadline. Send that through the question box on this page or the Contact page, and a member of the team will suggest options. If what you need is outside the options listed, the Get a quote page lets you describe it and get a price. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.

Can I buy the Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign and other products in the same basket?

Yes. Different products, sizes and quantities can all sit in one basket, each as its own line with its own options. Delivery is charged once for the whole order, £7.95 to the UK mainland, and it is free when the goods reach £100 after discount codes. If two items share a design, choose the option to reuse artwork from another basket item and there is no second artwork fee. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. For reference, Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Can I swap my file once I have paid?

It depends on timing. Until production begins, a new file can replace the old one, or the order can be cancelled with a full refund; once it has begun, nothing can be changed. Message us straight away on the Contact page with your order number. Items printed exactly as supplied or designed do not count as faulty, so check names, numbers and dates first. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all.

Our treasurer needs a receipt for the accounts. What do we get?

Every order gets a confirmation email listing what was bought, the options chosen and the amount paid, and a club, school or small firm can file that as its record of payment. What you pay for this sign is the price shown on the page plus any delivery charge, nothing more. If your accounts need a particular kind of invoice, ask through the Contact page before you order and we will tell you what we can provide. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Material choices for Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

We need a few different designs. Do they each need their own order?

One checkout covers the lot. Add a basket line for every design, attach the right file to each, then pay once. You pay a single delivery charge of £7.95 for the whole order, or nothing if the goods add up to £100 or more. Repeating one design on another line? Choose the artwork choice that points to a file already in the basket, and no second design fee is charged. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. On this page, Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign starts from £5.02.

Next year we will want the same sign again. Is reordering easy?

Yes. Treat it as a fresh order of the same item with the same settings, and attach the file you used last time. Keep a copy of the print file in a shared folder so whoever orders next year can find it. Change any details that have moved on, such as a new email address or this year's date, before uploading. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all.

Can a volunteer order without setting up an account?

Yes. There is a guest checkout, so a one-off order does not need a login. Payment is by debit or credit card, processed by Stripe. The confirmation email that follows lists everything bought and what was paid, which helps when you claim the money back from the group. What the page shows is what the group pays, plus any delivery. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all.

The parcel turned up damaged. How do I sort it out?

Look everything over when it arrives. If something is damaged or missing, contact us within 48 hours through the contact form, with your order number and photos of both the item and the packaging. Please keep hold of it until we reply; we then sort out a reprint or a refund. Your legal rights stay the same, as the returns page sets out. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. Choose Saver and this sign leaves us after 6 working days; Express brings that down to 2. Material choices for Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

I have never ordered printing before. Do I need to know the technical words?

No. A person on our team checks every file for size, bleed and resolution and tells you in plain words if anything needs changing. Or pick typesetting for £15 and we lay out your words and logo for you, with a first draft and two rounds of changes. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm). For reference, Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Some of our visitors have poor eyesight. Will this sign be easy for them to read?

Good contrast, a simple bold typeface and the right size for the reading distance make the biggest difference. Our standard safety designs already use the high-contrast colour combinations set out for safety signs. Put it at eye level in good light, away from reflections, and use as few words as possible. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

Will the Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign cope with steam and splashes in a kitchen or toilet block?

Dibond copes best: it stays rigid, will not soak up water and a wipe gets it clean. The vinyl sticker holds on tiles or stainless steel as long as you apply it to a clean, dry surface. For cleaning, a damp cloth and a drop of mild detergent is enough; keep bleach and scouring products away from it. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02.

Could the Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign go on a door, say an office or classroom door?

It can, and the vinyl sticker version is the tidiest way to do it on a door or a glass panel. On a flat door, the 3mm Foamex board with foam tape on the back is a good alternative. Aim for eye height, either beside the door or on the side people push, so an open door does not hide it. Fire doors are different: ask the person responsible for the building before you drill into one. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. For reference, Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).
