Fine Art Print : International biohazard symbol
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
International biohazard symbol
International biohazard symbol warning of a potential biological hazard. This symbol is used worldwide in laboratories and on containers where biologically active agents are present. Examples of biologically active agents are bacteria and fungi, which could be infectious and potentially dangerous. The symbol was invented by engineer Charles Baldwin in 1966. The design was chosen as it was easily memorable and could be used regardless of orientation. The original background colour, blaze orange, was chosen as being easily visible under most conditions, although the symbol is also used with a bright yellow background

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the internationally recognized biohazard symbol, serving as a powerful warning of potential biological hazards. Widely used in laboratories and on containers containing biologically active agents such as bacteria and fungi, this symbol represents the infectious and potentially dangerous nature of these substances. Invented by engineer Charles Baldwin in 1966, the design was carefully crafted to be easily memorable and usable from any orientation. The original blaze orange background color was deliberately chosen for its high visibility under various conditions, although it is also commonly displayed with a bright yellow background. This thought-provoking illustration not only serves as a standard safety measure but also reflects the crucial role of biology, research, medicine, and biochemical sciences in our society. It reminds us of the inherent risks involved in working with hazardous materials while emphasizing the need for caution and adherence to strict protocols. The biohazard symbol has become synonymous with danger and acts as an international signifier for potential harm caused by microbiological agents or biotechnology-related activities. Its presence serves as a constant reminder of the importance of protecting ourselves against threats like bioterrorism, chemical warfare, toxicology issues, or even biological warfare. Science Photo Library presents this stunning artwork that captures both the essence of scientific exploration and our responsibility to handle these potentially harmful substances with utmost care.
