Infectious Substance Warning Label - Biohazard Safety Signage #1688916 (License: Personal Use)

The image displays a diamond-shaped U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Class 6.2 infectious substance hazard label, marked with the universal black biohazard symbol at the top. Below the symbol, bold text reads “INFECTIOUS SUBSTANCE” followed by critical response instructions: “IN CASE OF DAMAGE OR LEAKAGE IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY PUBLIC HEALTH AUTHORITY IN U.S.” and contact information for the CDC Director in Atlanta, GA. The label also includes the UN number “UN 2814” and manufacturer details along the border.

Used on packaging and transport containers for biological materials classified as infectious substances (e.g., clinical specimens, pathogens), this label complies with OSHA, CDC, and DOT regulations; it serves to alert handlers, emergency responders, and logistics personnel to hazards and required protocols.
