A.N.S.I. LabelAmerican National Standards
Institute

• Emphasizes Text
• Uses Warning Words
• Caution
• Warning
• Danger
• Uses D.O.T. Symbols

11
D.O.T. Label

• Packages Containing Hazardous Materials Must be
  Labeled with the Label Corresponding to the
  Hazard Class of the Material.
• There are 9 Different Classes used By the DOT.
• Each Container Must Have Placards on Each Side
  and Each End.

12
NFPA 704 Placard System

• Diamond shaped, color coded, minimum 7-1/2 inches
  on each side.
• Mounted at the entrance, on door or gate, to all
  storage areas or in locations specified by the
  Fire Department.

13
N.F.P.A. / HMIS Label

• Color Coding
• Uses Numerical Rating
• Chart Accompanies Labels

14
Color Blue Health Hazards

• 0 Normal Material
• 1 Slightly Hazardous - causes minor
  irritation. No permanent damage.
• 2 Hazardous on intense or continued exposure
  causing temporary incapacitation or possible
  residual injury. May give off toxic or highly
  irritating combustion products or products
  lacking warning properties.

15
Color Blue Health Hazards

• 3 Extreme danger - Causes serious injury on
  short exposure, even if treated. Includes
  corrosive or absorbable materials and materials
  giving off highly toxic combustion products.
• 4 Deadly on VERY short exposure.
  Includes materials that penetrate
  rubber.

16
Color Red - Fire Hazards
Flashpoint

• 0 Will Not Burn
• 1 Above 200 F (Must be preheated to burn)
  
• 2 Below 200 F (Ignites when moderately
  heated)
• 3 Below 100 F (Ignites at normal
  temperatures)
• 4 Below 73 F (Extremely flammable)

17
Color Yellow - Reactivity

• 0 Chemically stable in normal conditions
  
• 1 Chemically unstable if heated or mixed with
  water.
• 2 Does not detonate, but violent chemical
  change in normal conditions/mixed with H20
• 3 Requires strong initiating source or heat to
  detonate, or reacts explosively with water.
• 4 Will readily detonate in normal conditions.

18
HMIS Color White - PPE

• Charted using alphabetical notation.
• X is used whenever the provided notation does
  not cover the situation and the employee should
  refer to their supervisor for guidance.
