Danger Ethylene Oxide Sign – Cancer Hazard, 8x12 Rust-Resistant Aluminum ETO Safety Sign for Sterilization & Chemical Control Areas by CGAP Safety

Ethylene oxide (EtO / ETO) is not a “generic chemical.” It’s a high-consequence sterilant used in tightly controlled processes, and it comes with a risk profile that demands clear, consistent hazard communication. When ETO is present, facilities typically require strict controls around access, ventilation, handling procedures, training, and exposure management. The problem is never the written policy. The problem is the doorway, the corridor, the storage cage, or the process area where someone walks in without realizing what they’re stepping into.

The CGAP Safety DANGER – Ethylene Oxide – Cancer Hazard sign is built to close that gap with a simple, unmistakable message: this area involves ethylene oxide, and exposure risk is not theoretical. The layout is intentionally high-contrast and fast to read, making it effective for real facilities where people are moving, working, and making decisions in seconds.

This sign is a strong fit for environments where ETO sterilizers, aeration processes, cylinder storage, or chemical control areas exist, including healthcare sterilization departments, labs, manufacturing sites, packaging operations, and specialty sterilization workflows. Use it at access points, equipment rooms, storage locations, or controlled zones to reinforce hazard awareness and support safer entry and work planning.

Manufactured as an 8 x 12 inch sign from rust-resistant aluminum, it’s designed for long service life. Aluminum remains rigid, professional, and legible over time, outperforming temporary paper notices or thin plastic signage that fades, curls, or cracks. If you’re standardizing facility signage, improving audit readiness, or tightening your hazard communication program, this sign is a clean, durable upgrade.

Important: This sign is for hazard communication and does not replace required training, exposure monitoring, ventilation controls, PPE requirements, or site-specific procedures for ethylene oxide. Always follow your organization’s safety program and applicable regulations/standards for ETO use.

1. ETHYLENE OXIDE (ETO) DANGER SIGN – Clearly identifies ethylene oxide presence with a direct “Cancer Hazard” message for controlled areas, chemical rooms, and sterilization environments.
2. SUPPORTS HAZARD COMMUNICATION PROGRAMS – Reinforces workplace awareness where ETO may be handled, stored, vented, or used in sterilizers, aeration rooms, or related process spaces.
3. REDUCES EXPOSURE RISK THROUGH VISUAL CONTROL – Fast-read layout helps employees, contractors, and visitors recognize a regulated chemical hazard area before entry or task startup.
4. IDEAL FOR HEALTHCARE, LAB, AND INDUSTRIAL SETTINGS – Designed for sterilization departments, central processing, manufacturing, packaging operations, and facilities using ETO for validated sterilization workflows.
5. 8x12 RUST-RESISTANT ALUMINUM – Manufactured from rust-resistant aluminum for long-term indoor/outdoor durability in humid, chemical-adjacent, or frequently cleaned environments.
6. MADE BY AN AMERICAN SAFETY MANUFACTURER – Produced by CGAP Safety, an American safety manufacturer focused on durable materials and clear, compliance-minded messaging for real-world facilities.
