GHS & OSHA Industry Standard Label Content
Chemical manufacturers, importers, and distributors must label drums of hazardous chemicals with the appropriate elements listed below:
1. Product Identifier
Chemical name exactly as it is on the . If the mixture is covered by for transport of dangerous goods, the UN shipping name should also appear on the label.
2. Signal Word
The appropriate signal word should be printed on the drum label that corresponds to the class of the most severe hazard – for less severe. The label should contain only one signal word.
3. Hazard Statements(s)
Standardized statements assigned to a describing the nature and degree of the hazard(s) of a chemical.
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.
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.
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.
The Hazard Communication Standard
OSHA heavily enforces strict hazardous chemical labeling requirements under the Hazard Communication Standard. Consequently, this perfectly aligns with the United Nations’ official GHS classification system. Therefore, these critical standards drastically improve overall chemical classification consistency. As a result, commercial workers gain incredibly enhanced comprehension regarding safe handling procedures. Ultimately, this crucial safety information completely prevents severe workplace injuries and hazardous chemical exposures.

Global Maritime Shipping & Chemical Transport
The . It outlines durability requirements for pressure-sensitive labels used to identify hazardous chemicals being transported by sea. The BS 5609 certification is a two-part certification for both the label material and the printed information on the label. Both elements must be tested successfully, as evidenced by separate certifications, for a label to achieve the BS 5609 certification.
