GHS Hazard Pictograms

Not all materials and products in the world are safe, sufficiently large number of hazardous substances, materials, liquids, and gases are used that can harm people and other living organisms, the environment and property, if certain rules of working with them are not adhered. The list of hazardous substances includes flammable, explosive, radioactive, poisonous, toxic, and many other kinds. For hazard warnings of certain materials, places or objects, along with or in place of warning text or signal words, special hazard symbols, hazard pictograms or warning symbols are used, they are internationally approved and agreed by the UN in the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). This system is implemented and used in many countries, it has replaced many classification systems, and at the moment it is a convenient and standardized way of warning about hazard categories. According to this system for each type of risk corresponds a certain hazard pictogram.

There are two types of GHS pictograms or Hazardous symbols: standard pictograms are used to mark the containers, vessels and working places, and transport pictograms are used for transporting of dangerous goods.Standard pictogram hazard is a diamond with a black symbol placed on a white background with a red border.

GHS Hazard Pictograms solution included to ConceptDraw Solution Park contains a set of predesigned standard GHS hazard pictograms and Hazard communication pictograms, which are common, universal and easily recognizable, and so can be used for quick and simple designing accurate and professional-looking infographics, diagrams, warning announcements, signboards, posters, precautionary declarations, regulatory documents, and for representing the main items of OSHA HAZCOM Standard.


There is 1 library containing 9 vector shapes in the GHS Hazard Pictograms solution.

Examples

On this page, you see some examples that were created in the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM application using the GHS Hazard Pictograms solution. Some of the solution features as well as the professional results you can achieve are all demonstrated here on this page.

All source documents are vector graphic documents which are always available for modifying, reviewing and/or converting to many different formats, such as MS PowerPoint, PDF file, MS Visio, and many other graphic files from the ConceptDraw Solution Park or ConceptDraw STORE. The GHS Hazard Pictograms solution is available to all ConceptDraw DIAGRAM users to get installed and used while working in the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and drawing software.

Example 1: GHS Hazard Symbols — OSHA HAZCOM Standard

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the GHS Hazard Pictograms library from the GHS Hazard Pictograms Solution. An experienced user spent 5 minutes creating this sample.

This chemical safety infographic sample shows a table of GHS hazard pictograms, their codes and meanings. It was designed based on the table from the Wikimedia Commons article "GHS hazard symbols". All the GHS pictograms you see are vector and taken from the GHS Hazard Pictograms library offered by the GHS Hazard Pictograms solution. They are widespread and easily recognizable symbols used to warn about hazardous materials, hazardous substances, dangerous objects or locations. The hazard symbols are recognized faster than reading the written warnings. Presenting the symbols along with their names or a brief description allows you to inform the audience of all available standardized characters in order to simplify the choice of which is best suited to the particular case. These hazard symbols are made in the same style, have the diamond shape with internal borders traced by red color. Such symbols are drawn by black on white background.

Example 3: Chromium Trioxide Hazards

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the GHS Hazard Pictograms library from the GHS Hazard Pictograms Solution. An experienced user spent 10 minutes creating this sample.

This chemical safety infographic designed with GHS hazard pictograms represents an infobox about the chromium trioxide hazards, which is acid chromic anhydride. The diagram is constructed based on the table from the Wikipedia article "Chromium trioxide". Chromium trioxide is an inorganic compound with CrO3 formula, which dissolves in water together with hydrolysis and has a specific feature for changing its color upon contact with water. Being dark-purple solid under anhydrous conditions, it becomes bright orange in contact with water. Chromium trioxide is a powerful oxidizer, which finds its application mainly in electroplating and chrome plating, but is a suspected carcinogen. As a rule, it is employed with additives, which affect the plating process but don't react with it. Chromium trioxide is produced by treating sodium chromate or the corresponding sodium dichromate with sulfuric acid. Approximately 100,000 tonnes of this compound are produced annually for this goal.

Example 4: GHS Hazard Pictograms — Acetato di etile

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the GHS Hazard Pictograms library from the GHS Hazard Pictograms Solution. An experienced user spent 5 minutes creating this sample.

This example narrates about the danger of ethyl acetate, which is the ester of ethanol and acetic acid. It includes the Hazard statements that indicate the type of hazard compounds and the codes of Precautionary statements for this compound, which are specified on the safety data sheet for chemicals with descriptions and recommendations for preventing and providing first aid in case of danger from this substance.

Example 5: Diethylzink

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the GHS Hazard Pictograms library from the GHS Hazard Pictograms Solution. An experienced user spent 10 minutes creating this sample.

This example focuses on the GHS label requirements for diethylzinc or DEZ, which is a colorless liquid. Diethylzinc is a pyrophoric organozinc compound and consists of a zinc center that is bonded to two ethyl groups.
