The standardized hazard statements are found in Sections 1 and 3 of Annex 3 of the GHS for the hazard classes adopted from the GHS and, for some other hazard classes, they are found in Schedule 5 of the HPR. All applicable hazard statements must be present. For example, "Fatal if swallowed" and "Fatal if inhaled" can be combined to read "Fatal if swallowed or if inhaled". Hazard statements may be combined where appropriate, if the combination conveys the same information as would have been conveyed by each of the individual statements. They are brief statements that describe the hazards based on the hazard classification of the product. Hazard statements describe the nature of the hazard presented by a hazardous product. If the signal words "Danger" and "Warning" are both assigned based on the hazard classification of the product, the signal word "Warning" may be omitted. The appropriate signal word, "Warning" or "Danger", is determined based on the hazard classification of the product. "Danger" and "Warning" are the two signal words used to emphasize hazards. It also indicates the severity of the hazard. Signal word alerts the user of the hazardous product to a potential hazard on the label. For example, Combustible Dusts- Category 1 and Simple Asphyxiants- Category 1. Some hazard categories in a hazard class do not require a pictogram. Hazard pictogram(s) are determined by the hazard classification of the hazardous product. The environmental pictogram is not mandatory but may be used to provide additional information. In the case of "Biohazardous Infectious Materials" the pictogram must have a black symbol on a white background with a black border in the shape of a circle. Hazard pictogram must have a black symbol on a white background with a red border in the shape of a square set on one its points, except for the pictogram for "Biohazardous Infectious Materials". The same product identifier must be both on the label and in section 1 of the SDS. Product identifier is how the hazardous product can be identified, which means the brand name, chemical name, common name, generic name or trade name of the hazardous product. The only non-prescribed hazard and precautionary statements appear in Schedule 5 of the HPR. It is to be noted that, as opposed to the Controlled Products Regulations, nearly all hazard and precautionary statements are now prescribed, this means that the exact same statements an in Section 3 of Annex 3 of the GHS or as in Schedule 5 of the HPR should appear on labels. 
For all other hazard classes in which the hazardous product is classified, those information elements as set out in Schedule 5 of the HPR for the hazard class are required to appear on the label.
For each hazard class adopted from the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) in which the hazardous product is classified, the corresponding pictogram, signal word, hazard statement and precautionary statements set out in Section 3 of Annex 3 of the GHS (5th revised edition) are required to appear on the label. Any hazard pictogram required to be provided on a label must, except with respect to size, be an exact reproduction of that pictogram as set out in column 3 of Schedule 3 of the HPR.
