Danger, warning and caution are warning words in chemical labels.
According to the hazard degree and category of chemicals, the three words "danger", "warning" and "caution" are used to warn of the degree of hazard respectively. When a chemical has two or more hazards, use the warning word with the greatest hazard. The warning word is located below the chemical name and must be eye-catching and clear.
Generally, two signal words are used in GHS label elements: "Danger" is used for more serious hazard categories, and "Warning" is used for lighter hazard categories.
