	NFPA 704 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		NFPA 704 is a standard maintained by the National Fire Protection Association.
		It defines the "fire diamond", used by emergency personnel to quickly and easily identify the risks posed by nearby hazardous materials.
		This is necessary to determine what, if any, particular equipiment and/or risks/procedures must be taken (e.g., calling a HAZMAT cleanup crew).

	NFPA
		The mission of the international nonprofit organization is to reduce the burden of fire on the quality of life by advocating scientifically-based consensus codes and standards, research, and education for fire and related safety issues.
		The lifeblood of NFPA is its consensus standards-making system, which produces the National Fire Codes, 275 codes and standards covering all areas of fire safety and used in nearly every country in the world.
		NFPA 704 provides a simple, easy to recognize and understand system of markings that provides information regarding the hazards of a material and the severity of these hazards as they relate to handling, fire prevention, exposure and control.

		The NFPA was formed in 1896 by a group of insurance firm representatives with the stated purpose of standardizing the new and burgeoning market of fire suppression sprinkler systems.
		The first fire department to be represented in the NFPA was the New York City Fire Department in 1905.
		Today, the NFPA includes representatives from many fire departments, insurance companies, manufacturing associations, unions, trade organizations, even average people.

		This notation uses a diamond shaped symbol which is subdivided into four square segments.
		The left segment indicates health hazard which includes both contact with the chemical and inhaling the fumes from the chemical, the top segment indicates flammability, the right segment indicates instability, and the bottom segment is reserved for special warnings.
		It should be remembered that the ratings given in the NFPA system apply to the pure chemical and generally represent the "worst case scenario".

		What is indicated, therefore, is that the management must gather complete information on the fire and explosion hazard, evaluate the loss potential and implement suitable measures to control the hazard, with a view to eliminating or minimizing the incidence of fire and explosion.
		Identify and evaluate fire and explosion hazards associated with the transportation, handling and storage of each raw material, intermediate and finished products and each industrial process, as well as work out detailed preventive measures to counteract the hazards with a view to eliminating or minimizing them.
		Explosion may or may not be followed by fire, but in almost all cases, it produces a shattering effect, which may injure or kill personnel present in the vicinity and/or cause physical damage to property, depending upon the circumstances of each case.

		The National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), in section 704 of the National Fire Code, specifies a system for identifying the hazards associated with materials.
		Although the system was developed primarily with the needs of fire protection agencies in mind, it is of value to anyone, including someone enrolled in a chemistry laboratory course, who needs to handle potentially hazardous material.
		The hazard identification signal is a color-coded array of four numbers or letters arranged in a diamond shape.

		The NFPA system uses an a diamond-shaped diagram of symbols and numbers to indicate the degree of hazard associated with a particular chemical or material.
		These diamond- shaped symbols are placed on containers of chemicals or materials to identify the degree of hazard associated with the chemical or material.
		This information may include the chemical or material's radioactivity, proper fire extinguishing agent, skin hazard, its use in pressurized containers, protective equipment required, or unusual reactivity with water.
