Cancer and Lung Disease Hazard - Signs, placards, process sheets, batch tickets, operating procedures, or other written materials may be used in lieu of affixing labels to individual pipes, as long as the alternative method identifies the pipe(s) to which it is applicable and conveys the required information. The written materials are to be readily accessible to the employees in their work areas during each shift. (OAR Chapter 437, Division 2-Z, Hazard Communication, 1910.1200.)
