Hazard labeling is intended to display the hazards of a substance at a glance.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only for chemicals that are flammable
• D. Not required

Answer: (A)

Hazard labeling is meant to convey the key dangers of a chemical quickly, so workers can recognize risks and take appropriate precautions right away. A label uses pictograms, a signal word, hazard statements, and precautionary statements to show what could happen and how to stay safe, covering a range of hazards such as flammability, toxicity, corrosivity, or environmental harm. This at-a-glance communication is exactly why the statement is true, and labeling is required for hazardous chemicals by safety regulations, not just for flammable ones or as an optional step.
