Dangerous Goods
What are Dangerous Goods?
Dangerous goods are often indicated by diamond-shaped signage on its container, or the building where it is stored. The colour of each diamond indicates its hazard, e.g. flammable is indicated with red, because fire and heat are generally of red colour, and explosive is indicated with orange, because mixing red (flammable) with yellow (oxidizing agent) creates orange. A non-flammable and nontoxic gas is indicated with green.
