What is the color code for storing flammable chemicals?
Red
View source
Where should flammable chemicals be stored?
In a
flammable storage cabinet
or
flammable storage area
View source
What color code is used for health hazards or toxics?
Blue
View source
How should health hazards be stored?
In a secure
poison area
or separate from other
chemical storage
View source
What is the color code for reactives or oxidizers?
Yellow
View source
What is the proper storage method for corrosives in the reactive category?
In chemical resistant secondary containers or corrosion proof cabinets
View source
What color code indicates a contact hazard?
White
View source
How should acids be stored in relation to bases?
Acids
should be
stored away
from
bases
View source
What are the color codes for general storage?
Gray
,
Green
,
Orange
View source
What should be done with chemicals that have colored and striped labels?
They may react with other chemicals in the same hazard class.
Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for more information.
View source
What is the risk of using the alphabetical method for storing chemicals?
It may introduce hazards due to incompatible chemicals being stored close together
View source
What does a red stripe indicate in the color-coded system?
Do not store in the same area as other flammable substances
View source
What does a yellow stripe indicate in the color-coded system?
Do not store with other yellow coded chemicals; store separately
View source
What does a white stripe indicate
in
the color-coded system?
Not compatible with chemicals
in
the solid white category
View source
What is the purpose of labeling user containers?
To identify the chemical
name
,
concentration
, and
hazards
View source
When do containers used by a single individual not need to be labeled?
When
they are never stored or left unattended
View source
What must be done with old labels before reusing a container?
All old labels must be removed
View source
What must be labeled on very small containers?
They must be labeled too, or stored within a larger container with a label
View source
What information must be included on all chemical labels?
The
complete
chemical name,
concentration
,
date
of
preparation
,
initials
of the
preparer
, and
hazard warnings
View source
What must be labeled if a container holds a carcinogen or potential carcinogen?
It must be labeled with a cancer hazard label
View source
What is the purpose of hazard pictograms on chemical labels?
To
convey
the chemical
hazards
associated with the
product
View source
What do the numbers 0-4 in hazard pictograms indicate?
The
degree
of hazard, with 0 indicating
low
hazard and 4 indicating the
highest
level of hazard
View source
What are the main categories of GHS hazard pictograms?
Health Hazard
: Carcinogen, Mutagenicity, Reproductive Toxicity
Flame
: Flammables, Pyrophorics, Self-Heating
Exclamation Mark
: Irritant, Skin Sensitizer, Acute Toxicity
Gas Cylinder
: Gases Under Pressure
Corrosion
: Skin Corrosion/Burns, Eye Damage
Explosion Bomb
: Explosion, Self-Reactives
Flame Over Circle
: Oxidizers
Skull
and
Crossbones
: Acute Toxicity (Fatal or Toxic)
View source
What is the goal of a chemical storage classification system?
To prevent
accidental combination
of
incompatible materials
in the
same space
View source
What color code is assigned to flammable materials with a flash point of less than 100°F?
Red
View source
What color code is assigned to reactive materials?
Yellow
View source
What color code is assigned to health hazards?
Blue
View source
What color code is assigned to contact hazards?
White
View source
What color code is assigned to general storage?
Green
View source
How should chemicals be
stored
if a color code has not been assigned?
Based on the highest rating issued by the NFPA
or
HMIS system
View source
What should be done with flammable materials with a flash point of less than 100°F?
They should be given a
red
(or
red stripe
)
color code
View source
How should oxidizers and reducing agents be coded?
They should be given a
yellow
or
yellow stripe color code
View source
How does the J. T. Baker system differ from other suppliers in terms of color coding?
It uses orange to signify general storage, while others may vary
View source
If a chemical has NFPA codes of Health: 2, Flammability: 3, and Instability: 0, what color code would it receive?
Red
View source
If a chemical has NFPA codes of Health: 4, Flammability: 0, Instability: 0, and is an oxidizer, what color code would it receive?
Yellow
View source
If a chemical has NFPA codes of Health: 3 and is corrosive, what color code would it receive?
White
View source
What is the significance of using a striped label of the same color?
It further segregates incompatible materials within the same storage class
View source
Red color code is
Red
Health hazards/ Toxics are color coded
Blue
Reactives/
Oxidizers are yellow
