Which color represents flammability in the Hazardous Materials Identification System (HMIS)?

In the Hazardous Materials Identification System (HMIS), the color that represents flammability is red. This color coding is part of a standardized system designed to communicate the hazards associated with materials used in workplaces. The red color specifically indicates the potential for a substance to ignite or burn, highlighting the importance of recognizing and mitigating fire hazards for safety.

Each color in the HMIS serves a distinct purpose: blue indicates health hazards, yellow denotes reactivity (or instability), and green often represents personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements. By using color coding, HMIS provides a quick visual reference to assess the risks associated with hazardous materials, ensuring that employees can take appropriate precautions to maintain a safe working environment.
