What classification is assigned to a Level 4 hazardous material?

Nerve agent
Flammable substance
Radioactive material
Non-hazardous substance

The correct answer is: Nerve agent

A Level 4 hazardous material is characterized as non-hazardous. This classification indicates that the material does not pose a significant risk to health or safety under standard conditions. It is typically associated with substances that do not ignite easily, are not toxic, and do not react violently with other materials. This makes it essential for emergency responders and hazardous material handlers to distinguish these substances from those that are more dangerous, such as nerve agents, flammable substances, and radioactive materials, which would carry higher levels of risk and therefore be categorized differently. The classification system helps ensure proper response protocols and safety measures are in place when dealing with various materials, particularly in emergency situations.
