end of chapter quiz - question 4 / 5
\category 3\ is considered to be a high risk hazardous product.
a. true
b. false

Explanation:

Analyze WHMIS hazard categories

Under the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) used in WHMIS Labelling Requirements, hazard categories are assigned numbers. Unlike some other systems, GHS uses a lower number to indicate a higher hazard level. Specifically, Category 1 represents the highest risk (most severe hazard), while higher numbers like Category 3 or 4 represent lower risk (less severe hazards).

Evaluate the statement

The statement claims that "Category 3" is considered to be a high risk hazardous product. Since Category 1 is the highest risk and Category 3 represents a lower level of hazard severity, the statement is false.

Answer:

• (A) True
• (B) False (Correct answer)
