GHS Classification: Oxidizing solid; Health hazard
Hazard Statements:
- H271: May cause fire or explosion; strong oxidizer.
- H314: Causes severe skin burns and eye damage.
Precautionary Statements:
- P210: Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and hot surfaces.
- P280: Wear protective gloves, protective clothing, and eye protection.
- P305+P351+P338: If in eyes, rinse cautiously with water for several minutes.

Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials such as flammable substances and reducing agents.
Handling: Use appropriate protective equipment, including gloves, goggles, and protective clothing. Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin and eyes.
Fire Safety: In case of fire, use dry sand, dry chemical, or alcohol-resistant foam. Do not use water or CO₂ extinguishers, as sodium chlorate reacts with water and may produce oxygen, potentially intensifying the fire.
