A chemical hazard symbol is a pictogram applied to containers and storage areas of dangerous chemical compounds to indicate the specific hazard, and thus the required precautions. There are several systems of labels, depending on the purpose, such as on the container for transportation, containers for end-use, or on a vehicle during transportation.
Hazard pictograms form part of the international Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). Two sets of pictograms are included within the GHS: one for the labelling of containers and for workplace hazard warnings, and a second for use during the transport of dangerous goods.
For example, the Canadian Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations provides a description of compatibility groups. 1.1 Explosives with a mass explosion hazard Ex: TNT, dynamite, nitroglycerine. 1.2 Explosives with a severe projection hazard. 1.3 Explosives with a fire, blast or projection hazard but not a mass explosion hazard.
