Hazard warnings or pictograms that conflict with those required by HCS for the chemical may not appear on the workplace label. When such rating systems are used, employees must be trained on how to use and understand the alternative labeling systems so that employees are aware of the effects of the hazardous chemicals to which they are potentially exposed.
Employers may choose to label workplace containers either with the same label required for shipped containers of the chemical, or may instead use alternative labels, as long as those labels provide employees with general information about the hazards of the chemical, and the employer provides training so that employees exposed to the chemical understand the specific hazards it presents.
However, chemical manufacturers and importers are free to provide additional information regarding the hazardous chemical and precautions for safe handling and use. This is referred to as supplemental information. Their answer:. Given that NFPA ranks 1 as low and 4 as high hazard whereas the HCS ranks 1 as high and 4 as low, it seems exceedingly likely that even trained employees will be confused if both systems are in simultaneous use, particularly at multi-employer workplaces.
For example, using the two systems at the same time could result in a label with an NFPA flammability rating of 4 but a required GHS flammability classification of 1 on the same label! Therefore, we strongly discourage employers from using the NFPA system in workplace labeling unless legally required under local fire codes given the potential for confusion with the mandatory OSHA hazard classification and categorization system.
At the same time, emergency first responders might like to have this information, so it makes sense for manufacturers to put NFPA ratings on the SDS as long as the difference in this rating system vs GHS is made abundantly clear.

Very short exposure could cause death or serious residual injury even though prompt medical attention was given.
Short exposure could cause serious temporary or residual injury even though prompt medical attention was given. Intense or continued exposure could cause temporary incapacitation or possible residual injury unless prompt medical attention is given. Exposure could cause irritation but only minor residual injury even if no treatment is given. Exposure under fire conditions would offer no hazard beyond that of ordinary combustible materials. Will rapidly or completely vaporize at normal pressure and temperature , or is readily dispersed in air and will burn readily.
