This label (at right) was placed throughout a facility and did not meet the OSHA and NFPA required size for field markings based on ANSI z535 sign standard. This is a very critical standard and must be adhered to. The notification must be able to be read from outside the risk boundary area. In this case, the facility was found "Not in Compliance".
