Chemical Hazard Label

The document discusses the NFPA chemical hazard label system. The label uses a diamond shape divided into four color-coded sections to indicate the health, flammability, reactivity, and any special hazards of a chemical. A sample label is shown for the highly flammable gas diborane, which has severe health and reactivity risks and may detonate with heat or ignition. Additional information on chemicals is available in their Material Safety Data Sheets.
