4 colors chemical hazard label.

1 chemical identification 2 chronic health hazard indicator and acute health hazard rating 3 flammability rating 4 reactivity rating. Each section is labeled with a number from 0 4 to indicate the level of hazard. The us based national fire protection association nfpa has a standard nfpa 704 using a diamond with four colored sections each with a number indicating severity 0 4 0 for no hazard 4 indicates a severe hazard. Labels safety labels are very common in most facilities.

The blue section denotes health risks. There are four colored sections on the diamond. The white field is used to convey special hazards.

Chemical hazard labels hmis 4 color 3 x 1 vinyl roll of 500 labels product information technical details. What these colors represent must be remembered first. The number ratings range from 0 to 4. Hazardous materials identification system hmis the hazardous materials identification system was developed by the national paint and coatings association.

The hmis label consists of a five part rectangle. Each color on the label represents a different type of hazard. The blue red and yellow fields which represent health hazard flammability and reactivity respectively use a numbering scale ranging from 0 to 4. On this scale 0 indicates no hazard while 4 means severe hazard.

On top of the color coding nfpa also uses a numbering system. Yellow represents reactivity tendency to explode. One important thing to remember when creating custom labels is to ensure the proper shade of a color is used so people aren t confused about the safety message being conveyed. These safety labels meet the nfpa 704 standard and are printed with numerical ratings for health hazards fire hazards instability and specific hazards.

On every nfpa label there should be a number from zero to four inside the blue red and yellow areas. Health blue flammability red reactivity yellow and other or corrosive white. A value of 0 means that the material poses essentially no hazard whereas a rating of 4 indicates extreme danger. The red section denotes flammability.

The four bars are color coded using the modern color bar symbols with blue indicating the level of health hazard red for flammability orange for a physical hazard and white for personal protection.
