Welcome to a basic walkthrough of the NFPA and RTK Module in LabelForge PRO, showing how to select between NFPA diamonds and RTK color bar formats and switch between them at any time. It demonstrates how to search chemical records, adjust ratings, update signal words, and add health hazards, organ hazards, PPE symbols, and comments.
The tutorial also explains how template sizes differ between NFPA and RTK formats and how to choose the correct template depending on whether your RTK supply includes an NFPA diamond. For users who need an SDS-driven and step-by-step approach.
