What does the white color in the labeling system indicate?

This can refer to specific conditions or risks that are not covered by the other categories of health, flammability, or instability. Special hazards can include any unique or additional dangers associated with the chemical, such as radiation or specific reactivity to certain materials. This distinction helps users quickly identify any additional precautions they might need to take beyond the standard hazards associated with the substance.

Understanding the labeling system is crucial for those handling pesticides, as it aids in ensuring safe and effective use. Knowing that white designates special hazards allows applicators to take the necessary precautions to mitigate those specific risks.
