Event Description

Learn how to quickly interpret chemical labels and identify hazards using GHS pictograms — now required on all chemical labels.

In this interactive session, our team will demonstrate how to recognize the risks of industrial, commercial, and even everyday household products simply by understanding the pictograms on the label. Participants will practice identifying hazards through guided exercises, followed by a fun Pictogram Matching Game with prizes.

This session will help clarify common misconceptions about chemical safety and build confidence in recognizing hazards at a glance.
