What is hazard category 2? ›

Hazard Class 2: Class 2 hazards are compressed gases, which are divided into four categories: flammable/combustible gases, non-flammable/non-poisonous gases, toxic/poisonous gases, and oxygen.

Section 1, Identification includes product identifier; manufacturer or distributor name, address, phone number; emergency phone number; recommended use; restrictions on use. Section 2, Hazard(s) identification includes all hazards regarding the chemical; required label elements.

Section 2: Hazard(s) Identification

This section identifies the hazards of the chemical presented on the SDS and the appropriate warning information associated with those hazards.

Category 1 is always the greatest level of hazard within its class. – If Category 1 is further divided, Category 1A within the same hazard class is a greater hazard than category 1B. Category 2 within the same hazard class is more hazardous than Category 3, and so on. There are a few exceptions to this rule.

High-hazard Level 2 contents shall include materials that present a deflagration hazard or a hazard from accelerated burning, including, but not limited to, the following hazard categories: Combustible dusts that are stored, used, or generated in a manner that creates a severe fire or explosion hazard.

b. Class II—Locations in which combustible dusts (either in suspension, intermittently, or periodically) may or may not be in sufficient quantities to produce explosive or ignitable mixtures.

Section 2 – Hazard(s) identification includes the hazards of the chemical and the appropriate warning information associated with those hazards. Section 3 – Composition/information on ingredients identifies the ingredient(s) contained in the product indicated on the SDS, including impurities and stabilizing additives.

There are only two signal words – “DANGER” and “WARNING.” Within a specific hazard class, “DANGER” is used for the more severe hazards and “WARNING” for the less severe hazards.

There are only two words used as signal words, “Danger” and “Warning.” Within a specific hazard class, “Danger” is used for the more severe hazards and “Warning” is used for the less severe hazards.

CLASS 2 Gases

For nOn-FLAMMABLe gAS, Oxygen (compressed gas or refrigerated liquid), and FLAMMABLe gAS, placard 454 kg (1,001 lbs) or more gross weight.

What is SDS Section 2 hazard classification? ›

When a hazardous product is classified as “Physical Hazards Not Otherwise Classified” or “Health Hazards Not Otherwise Classified” or both, the classifications must be disclosed within Section 2.

In essence Section 2 covers the safety of the product (which might be a mixture of ingredients) as used and Section 16 will mention all of the components which may not pose a risk as they are in small concentration but it might be useful to know depending on what for or how you are using the product.

Hazardous products are divided into two hazard groups: physical hazards and health hazards.

Toxicity category II is moderately toxic and moderately irritating, Toxicity category III is slightly toxic and slightly irritating, Toxicity category IV is practically non-toxic and not an irritant.

Hazardous products are divided into two hazard groups: physical hazards and health hazards.

Examples for Class 2 dangerous goods are aerosols, compressed gas, fire extinguishers, refrigerant gases, lighters, acetylene, carbon dioxide, helium, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, natural gas, petroleum gases, liquified, butane, propane, methane, ethylene.

Hazard group 1 (HG 1): Biological agent that is unlikely to cause human disease. Hazard group 2 (HG 2): Biological agent that can cause human disease and may be a hazard to employees but is unlikely to spread to the community and there is usually effective prophylaxis or treatment available.

Category 1 Hazard: The Hazard Analysis shows the potential for significant off-site consequences. Category 2 Hazard: The Hazard Analysis shows the potential for significant on-site consequences. Category 3 Hazard: The Hazard Analysis shows the potential for only significant localized consequences.
