HMIS III® Ratings 0 1 2 3 4 Health, Flamability, Minimal hazard Slight hazard Moderate hazard Serious hazard Severe hazard Physical Hazard There is a new generation of HMIS® being introduced, HMIS® III. This new system still uses colored bars and numeric hazard ratings, but instead of “reactivity” it uses “physical hazard” warnings, which are more in line with OSHA defined hazards. HMIS® III will provide employees the tools to understand and handle chemicals with a far greater degree of precision, thereby increasing the potential for the customer’s HazCom compliance. The HMIS® III health criteria have been designed to be as compatible as possible with the definitions contained in ANSI Z129.176. They also reflect certain criteria accepted by NIOSH, U.S. EPA, and other organizations. Acute oral, dermal, and inhalation toxicity are rated on a five-tiered scale (0-4), generally with a tenfold difference. The new HMIS® III uses two boxes to indicate health hazards:  The left box indicates if the chemical is a chronic or an acute hazard. An asterisk (*) or other designation corresponds to additional information on data sheet or separate chronic effects notification.  The right box is used to indicate the hazard rating number. Numeric ratings are based on acute toxicity and chronic health hazard data, either from internal company data or published information. The HMIS® III health criteria have been designed to be as compatible as possible with the definitions contained in ANSI Z129.176. They also reflect certain criteria accepted by NIOSH, U.S. EPA, and other organizations. Acute oral, dermal, and inhalation toxicity are rated on a five-tiered scale (0-4), generally with a tenfold difference between the levels.
