Why not display the sticker prominently and use it as an educational opportunity…

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Labeling Hazardous Chemicals in Public Displays
We recently build a new display for our coelacanth, and it includes a 75 gallon tank filled with ethanol which is recessed into the wall. We have been informed by our safety officers on campus that an ethanol hazardous waste sticker (4" x 6") must be affixed to the front of the tank to comply with fire safety regulations. Obviously, we would prefer not to have a large vinyl sticker on a $6,000 display that partially obscures the specimen and could possibly alarm the general public.
Can anyone advise on regulations for labeling hazardous chemicals, such as ethanol, in public displays, or point me to a good resource for finding this information.
Thank you,
Sarah
