Chemical safety depends on understanding the hazards that different substances present. The Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of chemical classification categorizes chemicals by their type of hazard: flammable chemicals catch fire easily and include solvents like acetone. Corrosive chemicals damage living tissue or materials on contact - Strong acids and bases are examples. Toxic chemicals are poisonous and can cause injury or death. Explosive chemicals can detonate under certain conditions. Oxidizing agents provide oxygen to fuel other fires. In this sortable quiz, you'll categorize chemicals and substances by their primary GHS hazard classification. This is essential knowledge for chemistry students, laboratory workers, and safety professionals.
