1. Chemical Safety Labels NFPA- National Fire Protection Assoc. MSDS – Material Safety Data Sheets

2. NFPA Label Emergency response. Color codes for safety concern. Numerical scale for degree of hazard.

3. 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.

4. NFPA Label Emergency response. Color codes for safety concern. Numerical scale for degree of hazard. scale: 0 – 4 (minimal) (extreme)

5. MSDS Label (material safety Data sheet) Occupational hazard (repeat exposure) Similar scale to NFPA but more conservative due to exposure rate.

6. Occupational Safety Health Administration OSHA Safety Labels: As of June 1, 2015, the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) will require pictograms on labels to alert users of the chemical hazards to which they may be exposed. Each pictogram consists of a symbol on a white background framed within a red border and represents a distinct hazard(s). The pictogram on the label is determined by the chemical hazard classification. https://www.osha.gov/Publications/HazComm_QuickCard_Pict ogram.html

7. Your assignment: Prepare an NFPA label from a MSDS sheet. Include: Chemical Name, formula and other interesting facts, include the appropriate OSHA pictogram when necessary.
