Hah! You get two signal words with GHS: caution or danger. Caution is low stakes, where you might get skin irritation or maybe a mild burn. Danger is supposed to clue you in that it will fuck you up, but there’s no indicator of magnitude of fuck you up. Will it just give you a bad burn or will it melt your skin off while intercalating with your DNA?
I always wanted a third “oh helllll no” category for the really awful substances. For things like tert-Butyl hydroperoxide (it’s a straight 4-4-4) or Osmium tetroxide.
Same dude. Like signal word “Fuck” for the spiciest of chemicals that really probably shouldn’t exist in the first place that are desperately trying not to exist
