Danger Anesthetic Gas Sign – Risk of Oxygen Depletion, 8x12 Rust-Resistant Aluminum Asphyxiation Hazard Safety Sign for OR, Dental, Vet & Anesthesia Areas by CGAP Safety

Anesthetic gases are not “just a smell” or a nuisance. In the wrong conditions, they can displace oxygen, creating an oxygen-deficient atmosphere that can cause dizziness, loss of coordination, unconsciousness, and death. The worst part is that oxygen depletion can escalate quietly, especially in enclosed rooms, support areas, or spaces with compromised ventilation where people assume everything is normal until it isn’t.

The CGAP Safety DANGER – Anesthetic Gas – Risk of Oxygen Depletion sign provides a clear, high-visibility warning for locations where anesthetic gases may be present and where oxygen-deficiency risk must be taken seriously. This sign is designed for fast recognition at the point of entry and in the work area, helping staff, contractors, and visitors understand that the space is not a casual pass-through zone.

Common placement includes OR/procedure rooms, dental sedation areas, veterinary anesthesia zones, induction/recovery areas, and medical gas support spaces. It also fits facilities that use anesthetic gases in training, research, or specialized environments where monitoring and ventilation practices are part of routine operations. The message is intentionally blunt because the consequence is blunt.

This 8 x 12 inch sign is produced on rust-resistant aluminum for long service life. It holds up in high-traffic, frequently cleaned environments where paper notices and thin plastics fade, curl, or get wiped into oblivion. If you’re building a facility-standard signage set for compliance, onboarding, inspections, or daily operational control, this sign belongs in the stack.

Important: This sign is a hazard communication tool and does not replace required ventilation/scavenging systems, oxygen monitoring, training, PPE policies, or facility procedures. Follow all site-specific requirements and applicable standards for anesthetic gas safety and oxygen-deficiency control.

1. ANESTHETIC GAS DANGER SIGN – “Anesthetic Gas / Risk of Oxygen Depletion” delivers a direct warning for areas where anesthetic gases may displace oxygen and create an immediate life-safety hazard.
2. ASPHYXIAATION / OXYGEN-DEFICIENCY RISK AWARENESS – Reinforces controlled access and heightened awareness in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces where oxygen levels can drop without obvious warning.
3. FOR OR, DENTAL, VETERINARY & PROCEDURE SPACES – Ideal for operating rooms, procedure rooms, dental sedation areas, veterinary clinics, anesthesia induction/recovery zones, and medical gas support spaces.
4. SUPPORTS SAFETY PROGRAMS & FACILITY SIGNAGE NEEDS – Useful for hazard communication, access control, and standard operating workflows where ventilation, scavenging, monitoring, and restricted entry policies apply.
5. 8x12 RUST-RESISTANT ALUMINUM – Manufactured from rust-resistant aluminum for long-term durability in clinical and industrial environments with frequent cleaning, humidity, and daily traffic.
6. MADE BY AN AMERICAN SAFETY MANUFACTURER – Produced by CGAP Safety, an American safety sign manufacturer focused on durable materials and clear, compliance-minded messaging.
