The degree of danger to health for each substance is placed into one of four categories as follows:-.
GROUP 4 - MINIMAL. Minimally hazardous substances are substances that are reasonably safe under all normal conditions of use. No residual effect is to be expected from accidental exposure even if no treatment is applied.
GROUP 3 - SLIGHT. Slightly hazardous substances are substances that require some sort of safeguards but are otherwise safe under normal conditions of use. Minor residual effect(s) could result from accidental exposure if no treatment is applied.
GROUP 2 - MODERATE. Moderately hazardous substances are substances that are to be handled with caution and careful regard for personal protection. Minor residual effect(s) could result despite prompt treatment and cumulative/chronic effects are possible.
Note:- Substances with potential for chronic effects should be considered for this group or group 1
GROUP 1 - SERIOUS. Seriously hazardous substances are substances that are to be treated with extreme caution., and either have to be handled with specialised equipment or personal protection has to be worn, or both. Major residual effect(s) could result despite prompt treatment, and severe chronic effects are possible.
Note:- These ratings apply to use under normal ambient conditions. Variations such as use at elevated temperatures must be given due consideration.
