How to make your own Safety Hazards Door poster 1.Open up slide 2: the blank door poster template. 2.On the following slide (slide 3) see the pictograms / symbols to represent SAFETY HAZARDS. Choose the most applicable safety hazards that exist in the area. [Stick to the priority hazards i.e. if you only have one container of an Oxidiser then there’s no need to add this symbol. If the poster is too crowded with symbols the priorities will be lost]. 3.Select each hazard you wish to use and COPY and PASTE it onto the ‘Safety Hazards in this area’ section of your poster. Drag it into the required position. 4.Slide 4 contains Dangerous Goods diamonds which may be used to convey more specific information instead of a GHS pictogram if applicable e.g. ‘Toxic gas’ or ‘dangerous when wet’ flammable solid. 5.Then select each relevant precautionary measure (slide 5) and copy and paste it into the ‘Precautionary measures required ‘section. Drag it into the desired spot. [Don’t put a sign on the poster unless it is mandatory to be worn before entering e.g. don’t use the faceshield sign unless it is mandatory to be used FOR ALL TASKS in the area]. It is usual to have enclosed footwear, protective clothing (e.g. lab coat/gown) and eyewear as standard attire before entering a chemical laboratory. 6.Now go to the ‘Area Supervisor’ white box. Insert a text box over this box and add your relevant contact names. 7.Repeat step 5 for the ‘Room and Tel Extension white box. 8.Once the poster is ready select just your completed poster (copy) and save it as a new separate powerpoint file. (In ‘Design’ and ‘Page Setup’ select Portrait for the slide orientation). 9.Save the poster (suggest using location and date or version number in the filename). It is now ready for printing. 10.Choose your colour printer from the printer options. 11.Change the paper size from the default A4 size to A3 in Properties then select paper and choose A3. Print. 12.Laminate. [Alternatively you may wish to have it printed by the UNSW Print Centre for a small charge if you do not have access to a colour printer or laminator]: 13.Update when any information changes.
