Policy for Use of the Hazardous Products Act Consumer Chemical Hazard Symbols
The consumer chemical hazard symbols are regulatory requirements set out in the Consumer Chemicals and Containers Regulations, 2001. These Regulations are issued under the authority of the Hazardous Products Act, which is administered by the Product Safety Programme of Health Canada. The hazard symbols are Official Marks of the Government of Canada and are protected under section 9 of the Trade-marks Act.
It is the policy of the Product Safety Programme that these symbols be widely used, in order to make them more recognizable and known to consumers. The symbols were designed to indicate the nature of the hazard that a chemical product may pose to a consumer if exposed during foreseeable use of the product. The symbols can be used free of charge in order to teach about their meaning and for poison-prevention education, as long as they are correctly depicted and explained.
