BLUE - Health Hazard Level
Deadly (4): Very short exposure could cause death or serious residual injury, even if prompt medical attention is given.
Extreme Danger (3): Short exposure could cause serious temporary or residual injury even if prompt medical attention is given.
Hazardous (2): Intense continued exposure could cause temporary incapacitation or possible residual injury unless prompt medical attention is given.
Slightly Hazardous (1): Exposure could cause irritation but only minor residual injury even if no treatment is given.
Normal Material (0): Exposure under fire conditions would offer no hazard beyond that of normal combustible materials.
RED - Flammability
Flash point below 73°(F) (4): Will rapidly or completely vaporize at normal temperatures and pressures, or is readily dispersed in air and will burn readily.
Flash point below 100°(F) (3): Liquids and solids that can be ignited under almost all ambient conditions.
Flash point below 200°(F) (2): Must be moderately heated or exposed to relatively high temperatures before ignition can occur.
Flash point above 200°(F) (1): Must be preheated before ignition can occur.
Will not burn (0): Materials that will not burn.
YELLOW - Reactivity
May Detonate (4): Readily capable of detonation, explosive decomposition, or reaction at normal temperatures and pressures.
Shock and Heat May Detonate (3): Capable of detonation, explosive decomposition, or reaction at normal temperatures and pressures, but requires a strong initiation source or must be heated under confinement before initiation, or reacts explosively with water.
Violent Chemical Change (2): Normally unstable and regularly undergoes violent decomposition but does not detonate. Also may react violently with water, or may form potentially explosive mixtures with water.
Unstable if Heated (1): Normally stable, but can become unstable at elevated temperatures, or may react with water with some release of energy, but not violently. Will not burn.
Normally Stable (0): Normally stable, even under fire exposure conditions, and not reactive with water.
