NFPA White hazard stands for which hazard?

In the NFPA 704 system, the white section is for special hazards. It isn’t a general health, flammability, or reactivity rating; it flags specific or unusual hazards that require extra attention, such as water reactivity or oxidizers. You might see indicators like W (water-reactive) or OX (oxidizer) in this area. So the white hazard stands for Special hazards or special notice/specific hazard.
