Container Labeling
Types of Containers
Container labeling can be a very effective method to communicate the physical and health hazards of chemicals used in the workplace.
This tank is an example of a large stationary container.
The information on a container label will vary depending on what type of container it is and how it is used. We'll discuss labeling requirements under Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) in this module.
We'll look at the labeling requirements for each of the types of containers referred to in the hazard communication standard:
- Shipped (Primary) container labels - on shipped containers
- Workplace (Secondary) container labels - on employer containers
- Stationary container labels - on large tanks, etc.
- Portable containers - NO label requirements
