GENERAL WARNING

usually, you can spot these on doors, walls, cupboards and doorways

BIOHAZARD

normally found on substances, materials, and containers that have biohazards

EXPLOSIVE MATERIAL HAZARD

products with this pictogram present severe fire and explosion hazards. Chemicals that r very reactive Ex: Metals

FLAMMABLE MATERIALS

alerts users that a chemical is flammable. Indicates pyrophoric, self-heating, self-reactive, or emit flammable gas.

TOXIC MATERIAL

warns that a substance can cause severe damage to health, even at low levels; Inhalation or Ingested.

OXIDIZING MATERIAL

"o" is for oxygen and the flames show that oxidizers are significant fire hazard if they are not handled properly. Ex: Bromine, Hydro Peroxide

ELECTRICAL HAZARD

used to highlight risks that are likely to result in death - in this case, electrical shock

HIGH VOLTAGE HAZARD

indicates high voltage. It calls your attention to items or operations that could be dangerous

DANGEROUS TO ENVIRONMENT

substances that pose a significant danger to the environment

HARMFUL IRRITANT

can cause discomfort and reddening, irritation, or blistering of the skin

CORROSIVE MATERIAL HAZARD

hazardous products with this pictogram can damage or destroy metal, cause irreversible damge to the skin

CARCINOGEN HAZARD

induces respiratory irritation, directly causes damage to organs and also imparts reproductive toxicity.Chemicals under histopathology section: formaldehyde. uses fumh

LASER BEAM HAZARD

warn people of the dangers from lasers

UV LIGHT HAZARD

indicate the presence of artificial UV light which could result in personal UV light exposure. Signs in biosafety cabinets b4

GLASSWARE HAZARD

is a physical hazard and has the potential to be a health hazard if it is contaminated with toxic chemicals or infectious substance

HOT SURFACE HAZARD

to warn of the dangers from any surfaces which are hot

LOWER TEMPERATURE WARNING SYMBOL

cryogenic hazards in the lab. Such temperatures are usually much lower than freezing point

IONIZING RADIATION HAZARD

a warning to protect people from being exposed to radioactivity. Ex: X-Ray, Medical beams, Particle Accelerators

NON- IONIZING RADIATION

to warn of workplace dangers from non-ionizing radiation, ranging from extremely low frequency to ultra violet. Ex: UV, Infrared Spectrum

IAEA IONIZING RADIATION HAZARD

the radiating trefoil suggests the presence of radiation, the skull and crossbones warn of danger, & figure running away from the scene is meant to suggest taking action to avoid the labelled material.

NON-FLAMMABLE

gases include carbon dioxide, compressed helium, nitrogen and helium.

STRONG MAGNETIC FIELD

warn people of the presence of strong magnetic fields wherever this potential hazard exists on their premises. Ex: MRI, CT-Scan

RECYCLING SYMBOL

represent how the circle of (waste) life works by helping everything come back around, and in turn, benefiting the environment and future generations.

OPTICAL RADIATION

warns of equipment that produces this type of radiation in the lab, such as high-powered lasers.Visible lights that generate intense amount of light

MSDS- MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET

Essential starting point for the development of a complete

health and safety program for the material

•It contains basic information on a material or chemical

product

•Describes properties and potential hazards of the material
