What is the highest level of hazard?
Category 1 is always the greatest level of hazard (that is, it is the most hazardous within that class). If Category 1 is further divided, Category 1A within the same hazard class is a greater hazard than category 1B. Category 2 within the same hazard class is more hazardous than category 3, and so on.
What are the hazards of aluminum?
* Aluminum can affect you when breathed in. * Contact can irritate the skin and eyes. * Exposure to Aluminum can cause “metal fume fever.” This is a flu-like illness with symptoms of metallic taste in the mouth, headache, fever and chills, aches, chest tightness and cough.
What is the hazard level scale?
The four bars are color-coded, using the modern color bar symbols with blue indicating the level of health hazard, red for flammability, orange for a physical hazard, and white for Personal Protection. The number ratings range from 0 to 4.
What level of hazard is danger?

| Danger level (colour) | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Level 4 (red) | High danger |
| Level 3 (orange) | Considerable danger |

What is a Level 3 health hazard?
Level 3 – Materials that can affect health or cause serious injury, during periods of short exposure, even though prompt medical treatment is give. ◆ Level 2 – Materials that can cause incapacitation or residual injury, during intense or continued exposure, unless prompt medical treatment is provided.
What does aluminum do to the brain?
Aluminum, as a known neurotoxicant, contributes to cognitive dysfunction and may contribute to Alzheimer’s disease. The important reason is that aluminum can enter and be deposited in the brain. There have been three routes by which aluminum could enter the brain from systemic circulation or the site of absorption.
Is aluminum bad to ingest?
Summary: Aluminum is ingested through food, water and medication. However, most of the aluminum you ingest is passed in feces and urine and is not considered harmful.
What are the 9 hazard symbols?
Hazard pictograms (symbols)
- Explosive (Symbol: exploding bomb)
- Flammable (Symbol: flame)
- Oxidising (Symbol: flame over circle)
- Corrosive (Symbol: corrosion)
- Acute toxicity (Symbol: skull and crossbones)
- Hazardous to the environment (Symbol: environment)

What are the 7 types of hazard?
When to use level a hazmat protection level?
Level A protection includes: When Level A is used: Level A is utilized when hazardous substances have been identified and have a high level of hazards to the respiratory system, skin, and eyes. The substances present when using this level of protection are usually known or suspected to cause skin toxicity or carcinogenicity.
What is the upper limit for GHS Category 5?
• The GHS has five categories for acute toxicity. OPP currently uses four categories. OPP Category IV has no upper limit. GHS Category 5 covers chemicals with toxicities expected to fall in the range of oral and dermal LD50 of 2000 mg/kg -5000 mg/kg, or equivalent doses for inhalation toxicity.
What is the radiation hazard level in Fallout?
In areas where the Radiation Hazard Category is 5, sheltering in place can help maintain a Category 2 or 3 until instructed to evacuate. In contrast, self-directed evacuation in fallout areas can place a person at Category 4 or 5.
Are there sharp lines on the radiation hazard scale?
There are no sharp lines separating radiation hazard categories. Transition from Category 1 to Category 2 depends on the range of natural background radiation for a geographic area. The radiation dose values are whole-body doses and are suggested guides for radiation protection purposes.
