chemical safety symbols

Chemical safety symbols are icons on labels that warn of potential hazards associated with substances. They indicate risks like toxicity, flammability, corrosiveness, or environmental danger, helping users handle chemicals safely. For example, a skull symbol warns of poison, a flame indicates flammable material, and a test tube spilling liquid shows corrosive chemicals. Recognizing these symbols allows proper precautions, storage, and disposal, reducing accidents and health risks. They are part of standardized labeling systems designed to communicate hazards clearly across industries and regions.
