Overview of the pictogram-phrase combinations for laboratories of the DGUV
Combinations of pictograms and phrases make up the core element of this system. The information content of the H-statements is condensed and conveyed in the form of phrases. One way the system can be applied is in the form of sheets of self-adhesive pictograms bearing the phrases.
A selection of commonly and less commonly needed combinations of pictograms and phrases suitable for use in laboratories can be printed on a single sheet and can therefore be easily made available on site. Further information can be found in annex 4 of "Working safely in laboratories".
Online access to "Working safely in laboratories" is offered here.
