Question

Which organization developed a labeling system for hazardous chemicals that is frequently used in health care facilities?

Answer 1

Answer:

NFPA

Explanation:

NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) was the organization that developed an identification system for hazardous chemicals. It is still used today. Earlier the NFPA labels were used on products for Hazard warning. Today using GHS labeling on the products is also mandatory.

For hazard warning, a diamond is used to give a visual representation of reactivity and inflammability. The NFPA diamond consists of four color-codes: Blue, Yellow and White and uses a numbering scale ranging from 0 to 4, 0 means there is no hazard and 4 indicates danger.
