Labelling Small Containers to Comply with HCS2012

Posted December 20, 2013 12:00 AM by Milo

OSHA is now practicing theology with its latest interpretation concerning labeling requirements regarding the revised Hazard Communication standard (HCS 2012), 29 CFR 1910.1200.

How many angels can dance on the head of a pin? How much information must you get on your GHS compliant label?

5 milliliter vials, 50 milliliter bottles- Doesn't make a difference to the theologians at OSHA- You MUST GET ALL THE REQUIRED INFORMATION ON THE LABEL ATTACHED TO THE VIAL!

This is a 5 ml bottle. Its label must contain…

In a letter of interpretation to the NIST- A division of the United States Department of Commerce- the High Priests at OSHA have made GHS labelling a matter of faith.

You can do it. You must do it. SOMEHOW.

If you go through the training you know they answer. Another case of someone writing a blog with no idea what they are talking about just to stir up the masses.
