- 易燃气溶胶
- 氧化气体
- Gases under Pressure
- 压缩气体
- 液化气体
- Refrigerated 液化气体
- 溶解的气体
- 易燃液体
- 易燃固体
- Self-Reactive Chemicals
- 自燃的液体
- 自燃的固体
- Self-Heating Chemicals
- Chemicals, which in contact with water, emit flammable gases
- 氧化液体
- 氧化固体
- 有机过氧化物
- 对金属有腐蚀性
- Combustible Dusts (not part of GHS classification, but included by OSHA as a physical hazard)
- Pyrophoric Gases (not part of GHS classification, but included by OSHA as a physical hazard)
These are not regulated by OSHA, but include:
