Health: 1Fire: 0Reactivity: 0Special: None
- HMIS III Rating
Health:1 Flammability: 0 Physical Hazard: 0
NFPA and HMIS use a numbering scale ranging from 0 to 4 to indicate the degree of hazard. A value
of zero means that the substance possesses essentially no hazard; a rating system is intended for
different purposes, and use different criteria. The NFPA system was developed to provide an on the
spot alert to the hazards of a material, and their severity, to emergency responders. The HMIS
system was designed to communicate workplace hazard information to employees who handle
hazardous chemicals.
