Chemical Hazard Codes

The NFPA Diamond uses hazard rating codes for Health, Fire, Reactivity, and other Hazards. The link below contains a compilation of chemicals and their associated hazard codes:
Laboratory and Shop Signs
SCU Laboratories have been assessed for Health, Fire, Reactivity, and other Hazards. Based on these assessments, signs have been developed to communicate the potential hazards, indicate required personnel protective equipment, and provide emergency contact information. The signs include the NFPA Diamond (see link above for description).
