Which label indicates the product is a gas?

• A. Aerosol label
• B. Corrosive label
• C. Gas label
• D. Toxic label

Answer: (C)

Labeling by state of matter is what this checks. A gas label tells you the product is a gas at normal conditions, meaning it could be a compressed, liquefied, or dissolved gas and may vent or leak, require ventilation, and be sensitive to pressure. This is how responders anticipate how the product will behave and what precautions to take. The other labels point to different hazards: an aerosol label indicates a spray or propellant-containing package, not necessarily that the contents are a gas; corrosive signals materials that can burn or corrode skin and metals; toxic warns of substances harmful to health. So the gas label is the one that communicates the material’s gaseous state and the associated response considerations.
