What does the white section of an NFPA 704 marker indicate?

• A. Special considerations
• B. Fire resistance
• C. Ventilation
• D. Occupancy limits

Answer: (A)

The white section communicates special hazards or handling considerations that aren’t shown by the blue, red, or yellow sections. It’s where you’ll find letters or symbols indicating unique dangers such as water reactivity or oxidizers, and other notes that tell responders how to handle, store, or extinguish the material safely. If nothing special applies, this area may be blank. So this section is all about special considerations for the substance.
