89B.14 SIGNS IDENTIFYING HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS.
If a building or structure has a floor space of five thousand
square feet or less, an employer shall post signs on the outside of
the building or structure identifying the type of each hazardous
chemical contained in the building or structure. If the building has
more than five thousand square feet, the employer shall post a sign
at the place within the building where each hazardous chemical is
permanently stored to identify the type of hazardous chemical. If
the hazardous chemical or a portion of the hazardous chemical is
moved within the building, the employer shall also move the sign or
post an additional sign at the location where the hazardous chemical
is moved. All letters and figures on signs required by this section
shall be at least three inches in height. However, upon the written
application of an employer, the division may permit less stringent
sign posting requirements. The signs shall comply with the national
fire protection association's standard system for the identification
of fire hazards of materials, based upon NFPA 704-1980. The division
shall adopt rules exempting employers from the requirements of this
section when a building or structure or a portion of a building or
structure does not contain significant amounts of a hazardous
chemical. Section History: Recent Form
