Downloadable Hazmat Placards

I had difficulty finding vector art of hazmat (hazardous materials) placards and labels, so I wound up creating my own.

These were designed according to the Department of Transportation's 2009 CFR Title 49, Volume 2 to the best of my abilities. If you find inaccuracies please contact me, but please cite an official reference. I offer no guarantees as to their accuracy. I haven't been trained or certified in any way.

Each design is available in PDF and PNG format. The PDF includes a color version followed by color separations on subsequent pages for each of the unique inks used in the sign. The PNGs are sampled at 300 DPI.
