Cadmium Warning Signs
Plating shops post this sign in each cadmium regulated area and at all approaches to it, so people read the warning before they walk in. The legend names cadmium, says it may cause cancer and damages lungs and kidneys, and tells people to wear respiratory protection in this area.

Where cadmium warning signs are used
A plating line's tank room, the hallway that links the rinse tanks to the office, and the loading bay where racks of plated parts come off the line are all places a cadmium sign belongs. A plant safety officer orders it so that maintenance electricians, delivery drivers and outside inspectors see the warning before they enter. Outside workers do not know the room's routine, so a clear legend at the door gives them the respirator message first.
Choosing the size and where to hang it
Hang the sign inside the regulated area and at each approach, at a height people read on the way in. The 36 x 24 inch landscape size suits a wide tank-room door or a line of racks, and the 12 x 18 inch portrait size fits a door frame or post. Rust-free aluminum handles damp shop air, and plastic is light enough to move. Hang aluminum from its 1/4 inch holes and plastic from its brass grommets.
Questions about cadmium warning signs
Where exactly does the cadmium sign go?
Put one inside the regulated area and at every approach to it, so a worker reads the warning and takes protective steps before stepping in. Count each route into the area, not only the main door, when you decide how many to order.
What keeps the cadmium legend readable?
The rule asks that the sign be illuminated, cleaned and maintained so the legend is readily visible. Plan a spot with enough light, and wipe the face when it gets dusty. Aluminum has a gloss UV print, and plastic is printed on one side only.
Which size and material suit a plating line?
The rule gives no size, so pick by how far away people stand. The 36 x 24 inch landscape sign reads across a room, and the 12 x 18 inch portrait sign fits a door frame. Aluminum is .040 inch and rust-free, a good match for damp shop air, while plastic is a light .020 inch sheet.
Why does the cadmium legend name the kidneys?
The rule prints CAUSES DAMAGE TO LUNGS AND KIDNEYS as part of the fixed legend in general industry, construction and shipyards, so the sign keeps both organs. The words stay as the rule gives them.
Does a construction cadmium job use the same legend?
Yes. The construction cadmium rule (29 CFR 1926.1127) prints the same six lines as general industry, including WEAR RESPIRATORY PROTECTION IN THIS AREA. Its posting rule matches as well, covering regulated areas and all approaches.
