HHPS and WHMIS Symbols

9. Household Hazardous Product Symbols (HHPS)
Many products used in our homes may be dangerous if used incorrectly.
For this reason, household products are marked with symbols that allow us to recognize and interpret potential hazards
Each symbols give two types of warnings:

11. Each Symbol has two components: Shape determines the danger
the more corners it has, the more danger. 
What kind of container could be dangerous? Compressed gas 

12. Type of Hazard
What do you think these mean?

13. Type of Hazard

14. Border indicates whether hazard is in the container or the contents:
What kind of container could be dangerous? Compressed gas

15. Type of Hazard:
What could be a warning on the flammable one? – keep away from open flame or heat

18. What is it for? symbols for hazardous products in the workplace.
identify a wider range of hazards than HHPS symbols
Since 2015, no longer in a circle

20. Gases under pressure

23. Flammable

26. Oxidizing Material

29. Acute Toxicity
Can cause death or toxiciy with short exposure to small amounts

32. Health Hazard
May cause or be suspected of causing serious hleath effects

34. Irritant
May cause less serious health effects or damage to the ozone layer. Can cause irritatin to skin and eyes. Acute toxicity, eye irritation, skin, specific oraan target toxicity

36. Biohazardous infectious materials
Organisms or toxins that can cause disease in people or animals. List some examples

39. Corrosive
Eg. Battery acid. Corrosive to metals and also skin and eyes

42. Explosive

44. Environmental Hazard

45. What does a WHMIS Labe tell us?
asd

46. WHMIS LABELS Alert the user to the hazards of the product
State what precautions to take when handling the product.
Refer the user to a material safety data sheet (MSDS) for more detailed information about the product.

49. Disposing of Hazardous Waste
Hazardous waste cannot be disposed like normal trash in landfills.
Examples:
Automotive products (antifreeze, fluids, motor oils, and gasoline).
Batteries
Fluorescent light bulbs. (Many of the older models contain mercury)
Household cleaners. (ammonia, drain cleaner, and rust remover.)
Paint products.
Garden chemicals (weed killers, insecticide)
Swimming pool chemicals
gnitability means that the waste can easily catch on fire. It is considered flammable if the flash point is less than 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
Corrosive wastes are acids/bases that are capable of corroding metal containers.
Reactive wastes are unstable under normal conditions. They can cause explosions, toxic fumes, gases or vapors when heated.
Toxic types of wastes are potentially fatal or harmful when absorbed or ingested. They can pollute groundwater if not disposed of properly.

50. Disposing of Hazardous Waste
Locate a drop-off facility
Reduce and Recycle
Use non-hazardous materials whenever possible
Example: Instead of using a chemical drain cleaner, use strainers to catch the debris that may clog your pipes. Flush your drains weekly with hot water or warm vinegar. Use baking soda and a steel wool pad instead of using intense counter top cleaners.
Consider using non-aerosol products like those with pump sprays. Instead of using an aerosol air-cleaner, keep an open box of baking soda in a room or create potpourri out of scrap orange peels
