A GHS pictogram is a standardized symbol used to convey information about the hazards of chemicals. These symbols help users quickly identify the risks associated with a substance, enhancing safety in workplaces and homes. By participating in the GHS Pictogram Quiz, you can deepen your understanding of these important symbols and ensure you recognize them in various environments.

The explosive GHS pictogram marks a chemical as unstable and capable of causing a fire or explosion. Chemical classes include: Explosives.

There are nine pictograms under the GHS to convey the health, physical and environmental hazards. The final Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) requires eight of these pictograms, the exception being the environmental pictogram, as environmental hazards are not within OSHA's jurisdiction.

A GHS pictogram on GHS labels should have a black symbol on a white background with a red frame. To meet this requirement, some companies purchase blank labels with pre-printed red diamonds and print GHS labels using black and white printer.

Most pictograms have a distinctive red "square set on one of its points" border. Inside this border is a symbol that represents the potential hazard (e.g., fire, health hazard, corrosive, etc.). Together, the symbol and the border are referred to as a pictogram.

Hazard pictograms (symbols) Explosive (Symbol: exploding bomb) Flammable (Symbol: flame) Oxidising (Symbol: flame over circle) Corrosive (Symbol: corrosion) Acute toxicity (Symbol: skull and crossbones) Hazardous to the environment (Symbol: environment)

Each pictogram consists of a symbol on a white background framed within a red border and represents a distinct hazard(s). The pictogram on the label is determined by the chemical hazard classification.
