The chemical label contains
the chemical name, a warning which describes the physical and health hazards
of the chemical, and the name and address of the manufacturer. The best advice is to keep the chemical in
the original container and use the label provided by the manufacturer. If you have to transfer a chemical to
another container to use it , transfer only what you need to use and use it
all up by the end of your shift or put what's left over back into the
original container. If you don’t, or
if you give the container to another employee to use, then we have to label
the container appropriately. That does
not mean simply writing the name on the container. The label has to meet the HAZCOM regulation
requirements. So avoid using a
container other than the original! If
you absolutely, positively need to label a container, contact your EHSC or
Regional Health and Safety Manager (RHSM)
and we may be able to provide a generic label.
