A quiz game for (future) experts

The objective of the GHS quiz is to match the displayed pictograms to a possible, corresponding H-phrase expression. The quiz has two different skill levels. While the first level merely quizzes the meaning of the pictograms, the second level also employs several danger labels. These may replace the corresponding pictograms on transport packaging like IBCs (intermediate bulk containers) and barrels. You gain game points for every right answer; these are collected in three rounds to be added to a total at the end. At internal company events, for example, prizes could be awarded for a certain number of points. The game can be played online at www.gischem.de.
