Reading a Chemical Label
Captions available
The idea
Hazardous chemical labels follow a standard set of elements: a pictogram, a signal word, hazard statements and precautionary statements.
In practice
There are eight standard pictograms; the signal word "danger" marks the more severe hazards, and "warning" the less severe.
Where people slip
Never use a chemical from an unlabeled container.
