危害沟通:标签

To better acclimate you to the new labeling requirements the following is an example of what containers will be required to have on them starting in June 2015.  Chemical manufacturers are already labeling their containers according to the revised OSHA Hazard Communication standard and GHS however, it will not be until June 2015 where it will become the standard.  所有的标签, 如下面的示例所示, under the new HazCom/GHS standard are required to have the following:

1. 产品标识符
2. 象形图
3. 信号词
4. 风险声明
5. 预防性的声明
6. 供应商信息

的 产品标识符 is how the chemical is identified, the chemical name, code number, product name.  It is what should correspond to the applicable 安全 Data Sheet.

象形图 are graphic symbols used to communicate specific hazard information about the chemical.  九象形文字在世界范围内使用.  上面的示例显示了两个.  Click on the pictogram link to review all nine that you could encounter on a chemical label.

的 信号词 is used to indicate the relative severity of the hazard and alert you to the potential hazards identified on the label.  Under GHS there are only two 信号词s, “Warning” and “Danger.”  Warning signifies chemicals with a less severe hazard while Danger signifies a more significant hazard.  只有一个会出现在标签上. 

风险声明 describe the nature of the chemical hazards and where necessary the degree of hazard.  As shown in the example above the 风险声明 indicates “Toxic if Swallowed, 易燃液体和蒸气.”

预防性的语句 are a phrase that indicates what you can do to minimize or prevent exposures, 应对紧急情况, 存储, 和处置.
