The National Fire Protection
Association's (NFPA) Standard System for the
Identification of the Fire Hazards of Materials
is an example of a number and color coding system.
The NFPA Diamond uses color codes to identify
Health risks (in blue), Flammability (in red),
Instability (in yellow), and Special Hazards
(in white). Numbers are used to rate the severity
of the hazard on a scale of 0 to 4. 4 represents
the most severe. 0 represents minimal or no
danger. |
