The correct answer is: The risks associated with it

A material's hazard class indicates the risks associated with it. Hazard classes are part of the classification system used to categorize materials based on their hazardous characteristics. For instance, materials might fall into classes such as flammable liquids, corrosives, or explosives, each representing specific types of dangers they pose. Understanding the hazard class is crucial for ensuring proper safety measures are taken during transport and in storage, helping to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of people and the environment. This classification assists in determining how to handle, store, and transport the material safely, aligning with regulations and best practices in hazardous materials management.
