Precautionary statements (P-codes)

What to do about it: the standardized statements grouped the official way — general, prevention, response, storage, disposal — exactly how our classification engine prints them in SDS Section 2 and on container labels, with the hazard statements that commonly call for each. Texts follow GHS Rev 9 as adopted by OSHA HazCom 2024.
