Which color on a Hazmat diamond indicates health hazard?

Blue indicates health hazard on a Hazmat diamond. This color communicates how toxic or harmful exposure can be to a person, with a numeric scale from 0 to 4 showing the severity. The higher the number in blue, the greater the potential health risk and the more protective gear and precautions you’d need. The other colors provide different risk information: red for flammability, yellow for reactivity (instability), and white for special hazards like oxidizers or water reactivity.
