You are a medical assistant preparing a patient’s room for a procedure that involves a chemical known to be flammable. Which label should you look for on the chemical's container to confirm you are taking appropriate precautions?
The correct answer is the flammability symbol, which typically displays a flame and is used to indicate that a substance is flammable and should be kept away from heat, sparks, and open flames. The other answer choices describe symbols for biohazard, which is used for materials that contain or are suspected of containing pathogens; ionizing radiation, indicating materials or equipment that emit radiation; and non-potable water, warning that the water is not safe for drinking. These do not apply to flammable chemicals.
