Labeling of Hazardous Materials
Labeling of hazardous materials involves using standardized symbols, colors, and information on packaging to clearly communicate the potential dangers of a substance. These labels include details like the type of hazard (flammable, toxic, corrosive), proper handling instructions, and emergency measures. The goal is to ensure that anyone handling or encountering the material can quickly understand the risks and take appropriate safety precautions, reducing accidents and injuries. Proper labeling is essential for safe storage, transport, and disposal, and is regulated internationally to maintain consistency and clarity across different regions and industries.
