International Hazard System vs WHMIS System
International Hazard System:
- The border shape around the symbol signifies the danger level of the hazard in the International Hazard System.
- Only four symbols - poison, flammable. explosive, corrosive.
Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS):
- 10 symbols - flame, skull & crossbones, biohazardous, health hazard, flame over circle, exploding bomb, gas cylinder, corrosion, exclamation mark, environment.
- Includes more detailed information on WHMIS label.
