    Correct Answer
    C. 16 heading
    Explanation
    Safety Data Sheets utilize a 16 heading format. Safety Data Sheets, also known as SDS, provide important information about the hazards of chemicals and how to handle them safely. The 16 heading format is a standardized structure that ensures consistency and easy access to key information. Each heading covers a specific category of information, such as identification, hazards, handling, and emergency measures. This format allows users to quickly locate the information they need and promotes safety in the workplace.

While economic factors can certainly be affected by hazards, they are not considered a distinct category of hazards themselves.

They are used to quickly communicate the level of danger associated with a particular hazardous substance or product. Signal words such as "Danger" or "Warning" are used to alert individuals to the potential risks and encourage them to take appropriate precautions. These words help to ensure that individuals are aware of the potential hazards and can make informed decisions regarding their safety.
