The Company workers will ensure labels are not defaced or removed on containers of hazardous chemicals.
Portable containers into which hazardous chemicals are transferred from labeled containers and that are
intended for the immediate use of the worker who performs the transfer do not require a label. If the portable
container will be used by more than one worker or used over the course of more than one shift, the container
must be labeled. Food and beverage containers should never be used for chemical storage.
Signs, placards, process sheets, batch tickets, operating procedures or other such written materials may be used
in lieu of affixing labels to individual, stationary process containers as long as the alternative method identifies
the containers to which it is applicable and conveys the information required for workplace labeling.
Where an area may have a hazardous chemical in the atmosphere (e.g., where extensive welding occurs), the
entire area will be labeled with a warning placard.
Pipes that contain hazardous chemicals should be labeled in accordance with ANSI/ASME A13.1 and indicate
the direction of flow. (Please note that this not a requirement of the OSHA HCS but a best practice or
requirement of local jurisdiction.)
Workplace labels or other forms of warning will be legible, and prominently displayed on the container or readily
