In which locations are warning signs regarding asbestos required?

In laboratories handling chemicals
Any containers containing asbestos
On school playgrounds
Areas with high student traffic

The correct answer is: Any containers containing asbestos

The requirement for warning signs regarding asbestos applies specifically to any containers that contain asbestos. This is essential for ensuring safety and awareness among individuals who may come into contact with or handle these materials. Proper labeling on containers serves to alert employees and others to the potential hazards associated with asbestos exposure, thereby helping to prevent accidental disturbances and ensuring that appropriate safety measures can be taken. In contrast, while the other locations mentioned may present risks of exposure or contamination, they are not specifically designated for the placement of warning signs related to asbestos. Laboratories may have other chemical safety protocols in place, school playgrounds typically would not house asbestos materials, and high traffic areas in schools are not necessarily linked to asbestos hazards unless there is an immediate and known risk.
