5 Secondary Container Labeled Hazardous Chemical Labeling Whenever possible, it s best to rely on the manufacturer s product label. If a product is transferred to a secondary container, that container must be labeled with the product name or chemical name(s) and appropriate hazard warnings. Employees must know what the container holds and be able to reference the label information to the appropriate MSDS. Labels must be in English, but additional languages are acceptable. SECONDARY CONTAINER Do Not place anything into a secondary container that can easily be mistaken for something else! Clear Plastic Jugs Another Labeled Product SECONDARY CONTAINER Must be labeled Label must be readable Label must be in accordance with OSHA guidelines LABELS Must Include the Following: Name of product NFPA warnings» Health» Flammability» Reactivity Targeted Organs 29 30

6 Sample Labels FLAMMABILITY Flash Point The temperature at which if there is enough of the vapor present and an ignition source; the gas can be ignited If a material has a flash point it is flammable FLAMMABILITY Examples: Rubbing Alcohol 54ºF Acetone OºF At these temperatures or above we can ignite these vapors 35 36
