NFPA 704 – A Quick Overview
What is NFPA 704?
NFPA 704 is the standard that is intended to provide a simple, readily recognized, and easily understood system of markings. These markings will provide a general idea of the hazards of a material and the severity of these hazards as they relate to emergency response.

In more specific terms the objectives of the system are to:

To provide an appropriate signal or alert and on-the-spot information to safeguard the lives of both public and private emergency response personnel
To assist in planning for effective fire and emergency control operations, including cleanup
To assist all designated personnel, engineers, and plant and safety personnel in evaluating hazards
The system shall also enable fire-fighting, emergency, and other personnel to easily decide whether to evacuate the area or to commence emergency control procedures. It shall also assist those personnel in selecting fire-fighting tactics and emergency procedures.

Where do I need to post NFPA 704 signs?
Signs shall be in locations approved by the authority having jurisdiction and as a minimum shall be posted at the following locations:

Two exterior walls or enclosures containing a means of access to a building or facility
Each access to a room or area
Each principal means of access to an exterior storage area
