GHS & OSHA Industry Standard Label Content

Chemical manufacturers, importers, and distributors must label drums of hazardous chemicals with the appropriate elements listed below:

Ghs Pictogram Death

1. Product Identifier

Chemical name exactly as it is on the SDS. If the mixture is covered by UN model regulations for transport of dangerous goods, the UN shipping name should also appear on the label.

Ghs Pictogram Corrosion Skin Burns

2. Signal Word

The appropriate signal word should be printed on the drum label that corresponds to the class of the most severe hazard – “Danger” for more severe or “Warning” for less severe. The label should contain only one signal word.

Ghs Ictogram Environmental Aquatic Toxicity

3. Hazard Statements(s)

Standardized statements assigned to a hazard class and category describing the nature and degree of the hazard(s) of a chemical.

Ghs Pictogram Exclamation

4. Pictograms*

There are nine GHS pictograms to choose from that have common characteristics of the black symbol within a red diamond border. Each is intended to convey information about the hazards of a chemical. Note: Certain GHS pictograms should not be present together when pertaining to the same chemical hazard to avoid confusion. If a transport pictogram is present, a GHS pictogram for the same hazard should not be displayed.

Ghs Pictogram Exploding Bomb Explosive

5. Precautionary Statement(s)

Phrases describing recommended measures to be taken to minimize or prevent adverse effects resulting from exposure to Hazardous Chemicals, or improper storage or handling of a hazardous chemical.

Ghs Pictogram Flame Over Circle Oxidizers Grand Rapids

6. Supplier Identification

Name, address, and telephone number of the chemical manufacturer, importer, or distributor of the substance or mixture should be provided on the Chemical Drum Label.

DOT & EPA Compliant Labels

While there is no single uniform hazardous waste marking format, the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provide strict regulatory guidelines. If you generate small or large quantities of hazardous waste, you must comply with these container requirements. We ensure your custom hazardous waste labels meet all physical and formatting mandates, including:

We supply pressure-sensitive labels, roll-fed labels, cut & stack labels, and thermal-labels that are applicable in the following industries:
