Hazardous Materials Identification System
Health
- 0. No significant risk to health.
- 1. Irritation or minor reversible injury possible.
- 2. Temporary or minor injury may occur.
- 3. Major injury likely unless prompt action is taken and medical treatment is given.
- 4. Life-threatening, major or permanent damage may result from single or repeated overexposures.
Flammability
- 0. Materials that will not burn.
- 1. Materials that must be preheated before ignition will occur. Includes liquids, solids and semi solids having a flash point above 93 C (200 °F).
- 2. Materials which must be moderately heated or exposed to high ambient temperatures before ignition will occur. Includes liquids having a flash point at or above 38 C (100 °F) but below 93 C (200 °F).
- 3. Materials capable of ignition under almost all normal temperature conditions. Includes flammable liquids with flash points below 23 C (73 °F) and boiling points above 38 C (100 °F), as well as liquids with flash points between 23 C and 38 C.
- 4. Flammable gases, or very volatile flammable liquids with flash points below 23 C (73 °F), and boiling points below 38 C (100 °F). Materials may ignite spontaneously with air.
