Secondary (Workplace) Container Labeling
Most employers use the primary containers they purchase to store and use chemicals.
Sample Secondary Label
Employers may transfer hazardous chemicals into workplace containers for use. These containers must be suitable for the chemical and must not create confusion about their contents.
The employer must label, tag, or mark each workplace container with either the required shipped-container label information or:
- The product identifier; and
- Words, pictures, symbols, or a combination that provides at least general information about the chemical's hazards and, with other information immediately available under the hazard communication program, gives employees specific hazard information.
The workplace label works together with employee training, SDSs, signs, process sheets, and other information in the employer's hazard communication program.
