## WHMIS PICTOGRAMS Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System | PICTOGRAM | CHEMICAL TYPE | HAZARD | |---|---|---| | | gases under pressure (ex: carbon dioxide gas) | heat or physical shock may cause the container to explode | | | Flammable material (ex: methane (natural gas)) | capable of catching fire in the presence of a spark or open flame | | | Oxidizing material (ex: Oxygen gas) (ex: H2O2) | Increases the risk of fire if comes in contact with flammable material| | | -acute health concern (ex: Chlorine gas) | Single exposure may cause immediate serious injury or death | | | -Less severe health concern (ex: dilute acetic acid) -vinegar | Single exposure may cause less serious and usually reversible effects such as irritation or sensitivity| | | -Chronic health concerns (ex: mercury) | repeated long term exposure may cause health effects such as cancer or specific organ toxicity | | | Corrosive material (ex: hydrochloric acid) | destroys human tissue and can eat through metal | | | -Explosive material (ex: TNT-trinitrotoluene) | may Self react or explode | | | -environmental hazard (ex:ammonia) | may cause toxic affects in aquatic organisms | | | -Biohazardous material (ex: HIV virus) | may contain organisms such as bacteria or viruses that can cause infection or serious illness |
