The degree of hazard in an NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) label is indicated using a color-coded system with four quadrants, each representing a different type of hazard: health (blue), flammability (red), reactivity (yellow), and specific hazards (white). Each quadrant is numbered from 0 to 4, with 0 indicating no hazard and 4 indicating a severe hazard. The higher the number in each quadrant, the greater the risk associated with the material.
