Symbols for Hazardous Materials
By law, hazardous materials received in the workplace must be identified by special symbols on container labels. You may know these special symbols as WHMIS symbols. These symbols indicate the nature of the hazardous material such as compressed gas, oxidizing material, or toxic material. For information on the symbols to use and their colour restrictions, check the Controlled Products Regulation under the federal Hazardous Products Act.
