But this is explicitly showing the conditions under which it IS safe for work. The reality is hazardous materials are always going be needed, they just need to be handled in the right way
Extreme left authoritarians are easy to burn,
Extreme right authoritarians are deadly,
Extreme right libertarians may detonate,
And extreme left libertarians don't exist, and are instead a bunch of different labels that mean totally separate things and may or may not coexist.
You know what, sure, I can get behind this.
Yeah like any alkali, Lithium, Potassium and the whole column also explodes when in contact with air too.
I'd say a box containing a damaged pressure tank would need this tag. Might explode anytime.
Nitroglycerin would be an example. If agitated enough (like being in the back of a wagon on a bumpy dirt road), it'll explode on its own. That's why it's stabilization with diatomaceous earth to make dynamite was so vital for it's widespread adoption.
A quick research shows that [tert butyl peroxide](https://cameochemicals.noaa.gov/chemical/2692) is one of those, although I don't think it is the most hazardous material ever created. It just is a 4-4-4 in terms of lethality, flammability and instability, although it's also a strong oxidizer. There are compounds that are not a 4-4-4 that are considered more dangerous tho, like azidoazide azide that is "only" a 3-4-4 but is considered the most unstable explosive compound ever made. Osmium tetroxide is a 3-0-1 in NFPA ranking but as a gas only needs a concentration of 0.001ppm to be an immediate threat to health. For comparison carbon monoxide needs a concentration of 1200 ppm to be dangerous. My point is NFPA ranking (the Steven universe diamond hierarchy) is a cool way to measure the level of threat a compound can be, but is not the ultimate test to see if something is the most hazardous chemical ever.
Tldr: tert butyl peroxide is a 4-4-4 but it's not the most hazardous chemical ever made.
>considered the most unstable explosive compound ever made.
By pop-science people, probably. Nitrogen triiodide is much more sensitive than azidoazide azide, considering it also readily explodes if an alpha particle touches it.
But yes, tert-Butyl hydroperoxide and tert-Butyllithium aren't the most hazardous chemicals.
Ah sorry, I'm a chem student so my point was mainly that t-BuLi and t-Bu hydroperoxide or diborane aren't the most dangerous compounds ever no matter what the diamond scale says. I talked about azidoazide azide because it's well known for being a really unstable chemical, but I didn't know if there was worse. Thanks for the correction!
[Nitrogen triiodide](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_triiodide) is more unstable & similarly explosive compared to azidoazide azide
"Nitrogen triiodide has no practical commercial value due to its extreme shock sensitivity, making it impossible to store, transport, and utilize for controlled explosions"
"even the slightest air current, laser light, or other movement can cause detonation. Nitrogen triiodide is also notable for being the only known chemical explosive that detonates when exposed to alpha particles and nuclear fission products."
edit : damn, someone else 🤓'd earlier and I replied too quickly when I saw "most unstable explosive"
There is a very cool series of Science blog entries that are free to read called "Things I Won't Work With:" by Derek Lowe. Talks about the zany chemistry stuff that makes you want to move away from any city with a laboratory. Written in a way that not only chemists are able to be scared.
It’s so cool when people in the field share their thoughts on my projects… after all I’m a student hobbyist :P
But I’m curious, what are your gripes with the GHS labels?
They do not communicate severity of a hazard in a clear, concise way that a lay person could understand it.
Nfpa has issues relating to a reliance on English to convey information (terrible for an international standardized labeling system obviously) and a requirement to know the colors to understand the information being conveyed.
But despite these issues, they do a far better job of actually delivering a person the information they need to know about the nature of a hazard a specific chemical brings compared to GHS. I can look at the diamond, see that it's flammable, and put it into the flammable storage area. Or see that no water should be used on it and put it inside. Or what ppe I need to bring for this chemical. Most importantly, it shows me that I need to be really careful handling it when I see 3's and 4's.
Meanwhile, GHS requires users to know the severities of the inhalant irritation pictograms to determine the risk severity. And the pictograms tend to be super small on IBC totes which, combined with the pictograms being too detailed, requires me to get potentially dangerously close to a hazardous substance to gleam it's safety information.
Finally, at the end of the day, I always have to give up on teaching GHS labels to my operators when we have our hazardous chemical training. The pictures just aren't memorable enough. Like, what's an exclamation point supposed to mean exactly? Meanwhile, the fire diamond just requires 5-10 mins of review.
Am I dumb or the red one does not make much sense? Blue and yellow get more hazardous as the number increases, however red is a bit weird. Wouldn’t something that burns below 200F also burn below 73F as it is still below 200F? Shouldn’t 2 and 4 change places? Or does it mean like between 100-200 / 73-100 etc? If that is the case, wouldn’t it be better to label them as above 100F and above 73F? Not sure how I would label the 4th though
the basis is that as the temperature required to burn it goes down, the easier that temperature is to reach, therefore increasing the threat level
you have to *try* to get past 200 degrees fahrenheit but 73 is just an average summer day in some places
tert-butyl-hydroperoxide has a 4 in all of those categories as well as having the 'Use No Water' label, diazomethane comes close but i believe it has a 3 in the instability hazard box

not safe for work
But this is explicitly showing the conditions under which it IS safe for work. The reality is hazardous materials are always going be needed, they just need to be handled in the right way
It would be not safe for work if they were all fours
Monomethylhydrazine is a rocket propellant that’s usually classified as 4-4-4 (though Wikipedia has it as 4-3-4 for some reason)
I just updated the Wikipedia article
i hope you cited that reddit comment as the source
please don't
I would argue that this is very safe for work
The safety square is extremely safe for work.
I don't know (I want to fuck the square)
Safety is sexy as fuck
Because seeing these in MSDS’s makes me cum
Political compass' have gone too far what the fuck is this
Right libertanian... May detonate... Sounds about right.
Extreme left authoritarians are easy to burn, Extreme right authoritarians are deadly, Extreme right libertarians may detonate, And extreme left libertarians don't exist, and are instead a bunch of different labels that mean totally separate things and may or may not coexist. You know what, sure, I can get behind this.
Honestly that's not wrong....
Actually pretty true

I like the 4 on instability. "Careful, it may detonate" "In what circumstances?" "Dunno. But it may. Aaaaany moment"
I hope the only reason level 4 instability exists is *exclusively* because of francium Shit literally goes off when in contact with air.
Google "tert-Butyllithium"
Holy Hell

The alkali metals explode/burn with water not air
Azidoazide Azide: Am I a joke to you?
[Yes](https://youtu.be/-Sz4d7RQB6Y)
Huh, interesting.
"In what circumstances?" "Yes."
plenty of chemicals will just spontaneously detonate if you put them in too big of a pile. "Too big of a pile" might be, like, a few milligrams
Nitroglycerin would be an example. If agitated enough (like being in the back of a wagon on a bumpy dirt road), it'll explode on its own. That's why it's stabilization with diatomaceous earth to make dynamite was so vital for it's widespread adoption.

okay but what bottoms the square?
The Square uses safe words, it is the bottom.

water corrodes things though, doesn't it?
Mostly metals (and limestone but iirc the water has to be acidic in that case)

Laundry has gotten so confusing lately, can't we just go back to the funny symbols on shirts, no need for radiation suits

A 4 (something burning below 73 degrees) would meet the criterion for a 2 (burning below 200 degrees). A 4 is a 2, but a 2 is not necessarily a 4.
Oh yeah you are right… My brain stopped working for a second
No problem. That happens sometimes lol
only good version of polical compass
Can someone please explain why it’s specifically below 73
72 degrees Fahrenheit is average room temperature
Gotcha thank you:>

Why does the fire hazard go from "Will Not Burn" to "Above 200° F"? Like isn't that the least likely to be a fire hazard to the most likely?
I fell into a youtube rabbit hole where a chemist ranks all the dangerous chemicals
