Yellow color on facility placards represents which hazard?

• A. Reactity hazards
• B. Health hazards
• C. Flammability hazards
• D. Special hazards

Answer: (A)

Yellow on facility placards flags reactivity hazards. In common hazard labeling schemes like the NFPA 704 system, each color points to a type of danger: blue for health, red for flammability, yellow for reactivity, and white for special hazards. The yellow section indicates how unstable the material is or how it might react under certain conditions (heat, shock, friction, or contact with water or incompatible substances). The number, when present, shows the level of reactivity from 0 (stable) to 4 (severe). So yellow specifically points to reactivity hazards, which is why that option is the correct interpretation.
