    This document discusses the proper labeling of chemicals in a laboratory setting. It outlines that chemicals transferred to secondary containers must be clearly labeled with the full chemical name, associated hazards, handling instructions, and hazard pictograms. Labels must not use chemical formulas or abbreviations. Deteriorated or missing labels must be replaced immediately to avoid confusion and safety issues. Proper labeling of all chemicals, including on secondary containers, is necessary for identifying chemicals in emergency situations and complying with industrial safety standards.

    Topic: Labelling of Chemicals(Module-5)

    Presented by: AKHILA R (1HK18IS005)


    ISE DEPARTMENT
    7TH SEMESTER ‘A’ SECTION
     Chemicals when transferred to secondary bottles/cans must be provided with proper labels.

     Chemical formulae or short forms must not be used for labelling of the containers. The label must contain

     • the full name of the chemical,

     • its hazards,

     • information for safe handling and

     • the signage/pictogram indicating the hazard class.

     Labels of bottles which got deteriorated or worn off must be replaced immediately.

     Chemical bottles without labels or improper labeling can result in the wrong chemical being used.

     Further it will also cause difficulty in case of a spill or body contact or at the time of disposal of the chemical.
     The Lab Standard requires that all chemicals be labeled. If you transfer a chemical from the original container to a

    new container, you need to also label that new container with the name of the chemical. This is very important

    because in the event of an emergency you need to

     know the exact chemical name or chemical formulation you are working with so that you will know which MSDS to

    consult.

    Containers must be labeled with:

     Chemical name

     • Manufacturer’s name

     • Health hazards

     • Physical hazards

     • Long & short term health effects


     For frequently used chemicals, you can create your own labels for secondary containers

    using a word processing program and standard labels so that you can print them out as

    they are needed.

     All hazardous chemicals must be clearly labelled for the benefit of current users,

    emergency personnel, and future users. Unknown chemicals can be expensive to

    dispose of.

     Make sure all labels are legible and in good condition. Repair or replace damaged or

    missing
    labels.

     Manufacturers’ Labels

     Cal/OSHA requires that manufacturers provide labels with the following information:

     • Contents of the container

     Physical and health hazard information

     Name, address, and emergency phone number of the manufacturer or other responsible

    party

     Original manufacturers’ labels must not be removed or defaced. Material Safety Data

    Sheets (MSDSs) must be accessible to anyone working with these chemicals.
