Use this sheet to identify a symbol and open its official resource. It does not classify a substance or determine a compliant label.
GHS Flame
Flammable and related hazards.
The flame covers several hazard classes; the label’s statements explain the specific hazard.Artwork & guide →

Explosive and related hazards.
Use depends on the classified hazard, not simply on whether a product is pressurised.Artwork & guide →
GHS Skull and Crossbones
Severe acute toxicity.
The skull and exclamation mark represent different toxicity classifications.Artwork & guide →
GHS Corrosion
Skin, eye or metal-corrosion hazards.
The symbol does not by itself tell you which corrosion endpoint applies.Artwork & guide →
GHS Gas Cylinder
Gases under pressure.
Pressure hazards are separate from whether the gas is flammable or toxic.Artwork & guide →
GHS Health Hazard
Specified serious health hazards.
The silhouette communicates a different set of hazards from the exclamation mark.Artwork & guide →
GHS Environment
Aquatic environmental hazards.
Implementation varies by jurisdiction; OSHA does not require this environmental pictogram under its own HazCom standard.Artwork & guide →

Irritant and other specified health hazards.
This is not a universal “caution” icon; classification determines whether it belongs on a chemical label.Artwork & guide →Keep the complete label together
The pictogram is one part of hazard communication. The chemical classification and applicable rules determine the accompanying information. The environmental pictogram is part of GHS but is not required under OSHA’s own HazCom standard. Transport labels are a separate system.
