 Health Hazard
Very short exposure could cause death or serious residual injury even
4 though prompt medical attention was given.
Short exposure could cause serious temporary or residual injury even
3 though prompt medical attention was given.
Intense or continued exposure could cause temporary incapacitation or
2 possible residual injury unless prompt medical attention is given.

1 Exposure could cause irritation but only minor residual injury even if no treatment is given.

0 Exposure under fire conditions would offer no hazard beyond that of ordinary combustible material
Flammability

4 Will rapidly or completely vaporize at normal pressure and temperature, or is readily dispersed in a
Liquids and solids that can be ignited under almost all ambient
3 conditions.
Must be moderately heated or exposed to relatively high temperature
2 before ignition can occur.
1 Must be preheated beofre ignition can occur.
0 Materials that will not burn.

Reactivity
Readily capable of detonation or of explosive decomposition or reaction
4 at normal temperatures and pressures.

3 Capable of detonation or explosive reaction, but requires a strong initiating source or must be heat
Normally unstable and readily undergo violent decomposition but do not
detonate. Also: may react violently with water or may form potentially
2 explosive mixtures with water.
Normally stable, but can become unstable at elevated temperatures and
pressures or may react with water with some release of energy, but not
1 violently.
Normally stable, even under fire exposure conditions, and are not
0 reactive with water.

Special Hazards

This section is used to denote special hazards. One of the most common is unusual reactivity with water. The letter W with

Other symbols, abbreviations or words may appear here to indicate unusual hazards. Some
examples include the following (not all of which are necessarily part of the NFPA system):
This denotes an oxidizer, a chemical which can greatly increase the rate
OX of combustion/fire.
This indicates that the material is an acid, a corrosive material that has a
ACID pH lower than 7.0
This denotes an alkaline material, also called a base. These caustic
ALK materials have a pH greater than 7.0

COR This denotes a material that is corrosive (it could be either an acid or a base).

This is a another symbol used for corrosive.

The skull and crossbones is used to denote a poison or highly toxic

material.

The international symbol for radioactivity is used to denote radioactive hazards; radioactive materia

Indicates an explosive material. This symbol is somewhat redundant

because explosives are easily recognized by their Reactivity Rating.
