	NFPA 704 Diamonds, Labels and Fire Signs
		Following NFPA label rules and regulations relating to proper signage is critical in the event of an emergency.
		The mission of the international nonprofit NFPA is to reduce the worldwide burden of fire and other hazards on the quality of life by providing and advocating consensus codes and standards, research, training, and education.
		NFPA's 300 codes and standards influence every building, process, service, design, and installation in the United States, as well as many of those used in other countries.

	Hazard Identification For Emergency Response - NFPA 704
		NFPA 704 is a standard for the Identification of the Hazards of Materials for Emergency Response.
		Commonly known as the NFPA diamond, the four section multicolor diamond shape is displayed on the outside doors or walls or inside facilities that use chemicals in their daily processes.
		The purpose of NFPA 704 is to inform responders to fires, spills or other emergencies of the hazards of the material contained in the facilities.

	New Environment, Inc. - NFPA 704 HAZARD IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM
		The National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), in section 704 of the National Fire Code, specifies a system for identifying the hazards associated with materials.
		The NFPA 704 Standard System for the Identification of the Hazards of Materials for Emergency Response, was developed as a manual by the Sectional Committee on Classification, Labeling and Properties of Flammable Liquids of the NFPA Committee on Flammable Liquids starting in 1952.
		The purpose of the standard, as originally conceived, is to safeguard the lives of those individuals who respond to emergencies occuring in an industrial plant or storage location, or other location where relatively large quantities of chemicals are used, and where the hazards of materials are not readily apparent.

		Gases with an NFPA health rating of 4 shall be stored in gas storage cabinets or in exhausted enclosures and arrangements shall be made to ensure that the concentration of gas from the gas storage cabinet or ventilated enclosure does not exceed a predetermined safety level at places where people could be exposed.
		Indoor storage areas for gases with an NFPA health rating of 3 shall be equipped with toxic gas detectors unless the odor threshold of the gas is below the occupational exposure limit for NFPA 55.
		HMIS differs from NFPA 704 by basing the health hazard rating on the potential effects of long-term use of a chemical rather than the effects of a short exposure during fire fighting.

		Additionally, the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) has developed NFPA 704 the "Standard System for the Identification of the Hazards of Materials for Emergency Response", which rates risks from 0 (minimum) to 4 (maximum).
		The HMIS involves the use of numerical values, which are virtually the same as the NFPA 704 system, but include a descriptive means of evaluation of the applicable hazards, and the use of a single letter symbol to denote the appropriate combination of personal protective equipment, e.g., "A" represents the use of rubber gloves.
		Additionally, NFPA 45 "Fire Protection for Laboratories" prohibits the use of more than 3 flammable gas (6 if has been sprinkler) and no more than 3 oxygen cylinders in a non-sprinklered lab (6 if it is sprinklered).
