SAFETY!!!
 There are two systems to give you safety information.
In your home you have the Hazardous Household
Product Symbols (HHPS) on anything that might be
hazardous in some way.
 At work, at school, or in a science lab we have the
Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System
(WHMIS).
Very easy to use!
