Which category requires DANGER on the label?

• A. Category 2
• B. Category 1
• C. Category 3
• D. Category 4

Answer: (B)

DANGER is used for the most serious hazards, so the label word signals the highest level of risk. Hazard categories are ranked by how severe the danger is, with the top category representing the greatest risk. That top category requires DANGER on the label, while the lower categories, which indicate progressively less severe hazards, use WARNING (and sometimes CAUTION). So the category that requires DANGER is the one with the highest level of hazard, and the other categories do not require DANGER because they are less severe.
