NFPA Label

• Emergency response.• Color codes for safety concern.• Numerical scale for degree of hazard.

NFPA Label

• Emergency response.• Color codes for safety concern.– Blue: Health (toxicity)– Red: Flammability– Yellow: Reactivity (explosiveness)– White: other specific hazards, i.e. radioactive

• Numerical scale for degree of hazard.

NFPA Label

• Emergency response.• Color codes for safety concern.• Numerical scale for degree of hazard.

scale: 0 – 4(minimal) (extreme)

MSDS Label(material safety Data sheet)

•Occupational hazard (repeat exposure)•Similar scale to NFPA but more conservative due to exposure rate.
