Hazardous chemicals Chemicals that would be a risk to employees if they were exposed in the
workplace
Dangerous goods In United Nations model codes and regulations, hazardous materials are
called
, Highly hazardous chemicals chemicals that possess toxic, reactive, flammable, or explosive properties
Destructive device such as any explosive, incendiary, poison
gas, bomb, grenade, rocket having a propelling charge of
more than 4 ounces, missile having an explosive or
incendiary charge of more than 1/4 ounce 7 g, mine, or device
Weapons of mass destruction similar to the preceding description
Any weapon involving toxic or poisonous
chemicals Any weapon involving a
disease organism
Any weapon that is designed to release radiation radioactivity
at a level dangerous to human life
1. Explosives
2. Gases, Flammable & Non-Flammable
