  1. A yellow triangle with a black symbol
  2. A black symbol on white inside a red diamond ✔
  3. A blue circle with white letters

Why: HazCom pictograms are squares set on a point, with a black hazard symbol on a white background and a red frame. An empty red diamond with no symbol is not allowed.

Huh, didn't know that: Each pictogram may appear only once on a label, even if two hazards call for it.
