hazmat symbol

Toxic material indicator

A hazmat symbol is a standardized pictogram warning of dangerous materials—flammable, toxic, corrosive, radioactive, or otherwise harmful.

These symbols appear on containers, vehicles, and facilities to alert handlers and emergency responders: The truck bore hazmat symbols for corrosive liquids.

The most recognizable include the trefoil for radiation and the skull-and-crossbones for poison.
