Dual Mounting SurfacesWith six holes on both sides of the Molle-Lok, you've got options on how to mount your gear and how high you mount it.

The biohazard symbol’s journey from concept to global icon is a fascinating example of thoughtful design and effective communication.  Baldwin’s meticulous approach ensured that the symbol would serve its vital role in public health and safety.

With a spring-loaded, stainless steel pin at the center of the Molle-Lok’s latching system, the Molle-Lok can be quickly undone yet stays secure and locked to your gear even during the rigors of duty use.

The simplicity and symmetry of the design made it easy to remember and recognise, and to ensure the symbol’s neutrality they conducted extensive tests using focus groups, asking if they had seen it before and what it might represent.  The results confirmed that the trefoil was fresh and unassociated with anything familiar.

While it may pop up in places like zombie films and novelty mugs and T-shirts, its core mission remains serious: to alert and protect against biological hazards.  Its cameo in pop culture adds an unexpected twist to its legacy, proving that even in the realm of undead apocalypses, safety symbols have their place as a reminder to stay cautious and safe in a world full of unseen dangers.

Baldwin needed a design that was instantly recognisable, universally understandable, and devoid of any pre-existing associations.  Baldwin explained, “We wanted something that was memorable but meaningless, so we could educate people as to what it means.”  This meant the symbol had to be striking yet neutral, a blank slate for new associations tied specifically to biohazards that were odourless, tasteless and invisible, making them difficult to symbolise in any tangible way.

Baldwin’s reaction may seem a little severe, but underscores an important point: the more the biohazard symbol is used outside its intended context, the less effective it may becomes in alerting people to real dangers.

“I ran into a peculiar situation one time a couple years ago when someone was putting on a seminar on biohazards. As gifts for the participants, he devised a beautiful tie with little biohazard symbols all over it. This got me upset, and I sent him kind of a nasty letter saying this symbol was not designed to be used sartorially.”

It has been speculated that the biohazard symbol was supposed to be an abstract representation of a microscope depicting three lenses, seen as if you were looking up from the slide/stage, and suggesting a danger which could not be seen by the naked eye, but this has proved to be groundless.

The biohazard symbol was designed to have no “right” way up. This ensures that no matter how it is placed, its meaning remains clear.  This feature is crucial for maintaining its visibility and recognisability on various surfaces and in different orientations.  Initially, the symbol was intended to stand alone, but it is now commonly seen on a yellow triangular background, enhancing its visibility and sense of caution.

Baldwin and his team brainstormed and tested several designs and settled on a three-sided trefoil, a shape composed of three overlapping circles.  Historically, the trefoil was often used in Christian church and cathedral architecture and represented the holy trinity.

Later in life, Baldwin had significant concerns about the potential misuse and dilution of the symbol’s meaning. He famously shared an anecdote reflecting his apprehensions:

In 1969, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) adopted the symbol, and by 1986, it was recognised by the International Organization for Standardisation (ISO), cementing its status as a global warning sign widespread across laboratory settings and medical facilities,

In 1966, Charles Baldwin, an environmental health engineer at Dow Chemical Company, was tasked with a challenging project: create a warning symbol for hazardous biological materials.
