Hazard symbols are not used in risk assessments. They are used in hazard communication.
Hazard symbols are designed to warn about dangerous substances, materials, locations or object.
To identify and rate the level of risk, organizations typically conduct safety inspections and utilize hazard checklists to systematically identify potential hazards in the workplace. This is often followed by carrying out risk assessments, which involve evaluating the likelihood and severity of identified risks. Additionally, specific assessments like Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) assessments are performed to manage risks associated with hazardous substances, ensuring appropriate control measures are implemented. Regular reviews and updates of these processes help maintain safety standards and compliance.
Chemical hazard symbols typically have a white background with a red diamond border. The symbol itself is usually black and contains the specific hazard information, such as flammable, corrosive, or toxic.

The symbol in the lower left corner, typically found in conjunction with the RMP (Risk Management Plan) symbol, often represents a specific hazard or risk type, such as a chemical or biological hazard. It serves to alert users to particular risks associated with the materials or processes covered in the RMP. The exact meaning can vary depending on the context and the regulatory framework in which the symbols are used. For precise identification, it's best to refer to the accompanying documentation or key that explains the symbols used.
