Hazardous Chemical Information - Pictograms

Hazards are universal but languages are not. To keep individuals safe in workplaces throughout the world, standardized symbols called pictograms have been created to communicate hazards in a consistent manner from workplace to workplace and from country to country. This mini-module covers pictograms and the hazards associated with them, as encountered on labels and Safety Data Sheets (SDSs).
