NFPA CHEMICAL HAZARD LABEL: <br /> The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has developed a color coded <br /> numerical system for indicating the health, flammability and reactivity hazards of <br /> chemicals. In addition, a special precaution symbol may be used if necessary. <br /> To assist you in assessing the degree and type of hazard associated with a <br /> particular substance, we have provided guidelines for you to follow. <br /> DEGREE OF HAZARDS <br /> Each of the three colored areas in the NFPA fire diamond has a box in which the <br /> degree of hazard can be written. The degree of hazard is given by these <br /> numbers: <br /> Minimal <br /> 1. Slight <br /> 2. Moderate <br /> 3. Serious <br /> 4.
