If you’ve seen the label on a chemical recently, you’ve probably noticed one or more of the images pictured below. These are referred to as “pictograms.” They were developed to make it easier for everyone to quickly know the hazards associated with chemicals, even if they can read or even if the chemical came from a different country that uses a different language. The pictograms are based on images and symbols employees throughout the world would recognize and understand. All pictograms are a diamond on a point with a red border and a black image associated with the hazard in the center. Multiple pictograms may appear on a product label. There are only 9 pictograms, so take some time and learn what they are.
