| Abstract |
Pictograms devised by GIFAP, in cooperation with FAO, with the aim of communicating key safety information to people of diverse cultures and varied levels of literacy. The 12 pictograms are grouped in 4 main categories: storage (keep locked away and out of reach of children); activity (handling liquid concentrate, handling dry concentrate, application); advice for personal protection (gloves, eye protection, wash after use, boots, nose and mouth protection, respirator); warning (dangerous to animals, dangerous to fish). Advice is also given on how to use the pictograms. |
