In order to protect employees and members of the public from harm, it is vitally important that chemical hazard labels are used by businesses who deal with potentially harmful chemicals.
Whatever the point of contact may be, it is paramount that the proper warnings are provided for substances which possess any of the following, hazardous qualities:
- Flammable, explosive or oxidising - Substances which present significant risks of when stored in certain conditions, or exposed to certain substances.
- Toxic - Substances which present a risk of contamination or poisoning.
- Corrosive - Chemicals such as acids, which are able to cause damage to human skin and other materials they come into contact with.
- Gases Under Pressure - Gases stored in compression containers, which present a risk of releasing the gas contained at a rapid rate if damaged.
& more, including irritants, and substances which may harm the environment.
In order to prevent damage and injury due to these risks, chemical hazard labels should be used at each point of potential contact, in order to ensure that the warnings are maintained at all times.
Chemical Hazard Labels should be used:
- In workplaces with hazardous chemicals present, such as laboratories and hospitals.
- On containers which are being used to store and transport hazardous goods.
- On vehicles which are used to transport potentially dangerous chemicals.
- During the production and packaging of substances.
