One for for danger to life, fire, reactive to and specials, such as its unstable (keep it inside the connex and inside the ball inside the connex, so that no air gets to it or its moved.. Such as when they used to move nitroglyscerin, inside a box, inside a ball that was filled and kepts stable and did not move or react/hit anything or so I remember.. Yellow, Red, Blue and White.. Red - fire or heat sources. Blue - air or or a number of the diamond, one what it is, such as diesel or Karosene, Gasoline or something else that is being carried, something you can see from a distance, so you can be far back and know what is on the wreck you are looking at.. Alternate: Need to be fresh Frozen Reactive to and what its reactive to.. such as vaccum or cold, or ... so you don't mix one with the other next to each other and wonder why it all went boom.. Such as ts reactive to water, and you have a water sprrinler system? or halon (nice stuff, as long as you hae SCBA or like gear to give yourself oxygen, since it sucks the oxygen out of the area.. http://www.nycremsco.org/images/articlesserver/6-DOTPlacardLabeling.pdf for some ideas on what I am talking about..
