This information is conveyed by use of symbols that represent the special.
White diamond hazard sign.
This class includes two divisions.
The yellow diamond appearing at the right side of the label conveys reactivity or stability information.
Before 2002 the fire diamond and the color bar both had sections colored blue red white and yellow.
A value of 0 means that the material poses essentially no hazard whereas a rating of 4 indicates extreme.
The white diamond appearing at the bottom of the label conveys special hazard information.
Each of health flammability and reactivity is rated on a scale from 0 no hazard to 4 severe hazard.
Standard system for the identification of the hazards of materials.
White specific hazard the numbers in the first three areas range from 0 to 4 with 0 signifying no hazard and 4 signifying a severe hazard.
The nfpa diamond consists of four color coded fields.
The half white half red sign indicates that a material could spontaneously combust.
A dangerous when wet sign which is blue indicates that a material could suddenly become flammable or emit toxic gas if exposed to water.
The hazardous materials diamond is a hazard communication system used to help emergency personnel quickly identify the risks posed by hazardous materials within a given worksite.
The four divisions are typically color coded with red on top indicating flammability blue on the left indicating level of health hazard yellow on the right for chemical reactivity and white containing codes for special hazards.
Its use is defined by the national fire protection association s standard 704 titled nfpa 704.
For example in the reactivity area.
The red and white striped sign indicates a flammable solid.
Blue red yellow and white.
The blue red and yellow fields which represent health hazard flammability and reactivity respectively use a numbering scale ranging from 0 to 4.
