The NFPA 704 standard for identifying chemical hazards of materials at fixed facilities is which number?

• A. 704A
• B. 707
• C. 704
• D. 703

Answer: (C)

NFPA 704 is the hazard identification system used at fixed facilities, the familiar fire diamond that quickly communicates how dangerous a material is. The designation that identifies this specific standard is 704. The other possibilities refer to different NFPA documents or variations and don’t define the hazard-diamond system used for fixed facilities. 704 is the standard you’ll see on placards and signage to indicate the agreed-upon rating system.
