Safety labels

['Signs and Markings']
Safety labels
  • A label is any written, printed, or graphic material displayed on or attached to equipment, containers, or other items.
  • Various OSHA regulations and an ANSI standard can apply to safety labels, depending on the circumstances of a workplace or task.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) does not have a comprehensive regulation for labeling. Instead, label requirements are scattered throughout the regulations. Whether a labeling requirement applies to a particular workplace depends on whether that establishment falls under the scope and applicability of the specific regulation and the labeling requirement.

A label is any written, printed, or graphic material displayed on or affixed to:

  • Equipment
  • A container
  • Regulated waste, scrap, or debris
  • Other item

Labels are intended to warn, inform, instruct, and prohibit employees. However, labels are not intended to be either the sole or the most complete source of information regarding the nature or identity of an item.
