Which COSHH sign would indicate a flammable substance?

• A. Flammable symbol
• B. Corrosive symbol
• C. Toxic symbol
• D. Harmful symbol

Answer: (A)

The flame pictogram is used to show flammability. When you see this symbol, it means the substance can catch fire easily, so you should keep it away from heat, sparks, open flames, and other ignition sources, and store it properly to reduce fire risk. The other symbols indicate different hazards: corrosion signals that the substance can burn or damage skin and metals; the skull-and-crossbones marks acute toxicity; and the exclamation mark represents other health hazards like irritation. So the flame symbol specifically communicates flammability.
