Poison Symbol
The "Poison Symbol" is a widely recognized warning sign used to indicate that a substance is toxic or harmful. It typically features a skull and crossbones, which serves as a visual cue to alert individuals to the potential dangers of handling or ingesting the material. This symbol is often found on labels of hazardous chemicals, pesticides, and certain household products.
The use of the poison symbol is regulated in many countries to ensure public safety. It is part of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), which standardizes hazard communication. Proper labeling helps prevent accidental poisoning and promotes safe handling practices.
