"Many people mistakenly think that if a cleaning, sanitizing or disinfecting product is sold to the public it has been reviewed and proven safe by government agencies," says a 2013 EPA publication geared toward early childcare and education facilities. The EPA requires products labeled as sanitizers or disinfectants to kill the germs that the product claims to kill, but the registration review does not evaluate all possible health risks for users of the products. Some chemicals affect air quality and can cause or trigger health problems, such as asthma. In a study conducted in California, four out of five people diagnosed with work-related asthma did not work directly with disinfectants.” View Source

Pictograms are graphic images that immediately show the user when the product is hazardous and what type of hazard is present. With a quick glance, you can see, for example, that the product is flammable, or if it might be a health hazard. 

Alternative disinfectants should be considered when any of the pictograms noted below are listed in the disinfectant’s SDS, as they reflect a hazardous warning about the disinfectant’s use.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the Hazardous Materials Identification System (HIMIS) is a rating system which categorizes a chemical from 0 (no hazard) to 4 (high hazard). Four areas are categorized based on health, flammability, and physical hazards, as well as personal protection. They consist of four color-coded fields: blue, red, yellow, and white.
