GHS03 Oxidising Hazard Labels

Ensure Safety with GHS03 Oxidising Hazard Labels

Stay compliant and protect your workers with GHS03 Oxidising Hazard Labels. These labels are essential for identifying materials that pose oxidising hazards, a critical safety measure for industries dealing with chemicals that can increase the risk of fire or explosions due to their reactive nature.

The GHS03 label features a flame over a circle symbol in a red diamond, clearly communicating that the substance can cause or enhance the combustion of other materials.
