Fire Hazard - Description of the chemical's fire hazards (such as flammability, explosion risk, or byproducts that may evolve if the chemical is burned). Health Hazard - Description of the chemical's health hazards (such as toxicity, flammability, or corrosivity). Reactivity Profile - Description of the chemical's potential reactivity with other chemicals, air, and water. Also includes any other intrinsic reactive hazards (such as polymerizable or peroxidizable).
Flammable and combustible liquids such as solvents, paint thinners are some of the most hazardous chemicals used on a regular basis. You are han-dling flammable and combus-tible liquids every time you fill your carâs gas tank, thin paint with turpentine, or start a bar-becue with lighter fluid.
