Information about hazardous chemicals is found on manufacturers' labels on chemicals (or chemical products) containers. If chemicals are transferred from a labeled container to an unlabeled container, the secondary container must be labeled with the identity of the chemical, the appropriate hazard warning, and target organ effects.
When chemicals are mixed together to make other solutions, the secondary containers must be labeled with the names of the components of the mixture. If abbreviations are use for labeling secondary containers, the laboratory must generate a list indicating the proper names, compositions and hazards of the content of the containers. The list should be kept in the Laboratory Safety Manual and a copy filed in the departmental office.
