If a chemical is transferred from a labeled container to a portable container, and if that portable container will be used by more than one employee (or during more than one shift) then it must be labeled in compliance with 1910.1200(f)(6). The options at (f)(6) are as follows:
Each container of hazardous chemicals in the workplace must labeled, tagged, or marked with either:
- The information specified under paragraphs (f)(1)(i) through (v) of 1910.1200 for labels on shipped containers; or,
- Product identifier and words, pictures, symbols, or combination thereof, which provide at least general information regarding the hazards of the chemicals, and which, in conjunction with the other information immediately available to employees under the hazard communication program, will provide employees with the specific information regarding the physical and health hazards of the hazardous chemical. This option includes the use of NFPA and HMIS-style labels.
According to 1910.1200(f)(8), employers are not required to label portable containers into which hazardous chemicals are transferred from labeled containers that are intended only for the immediate use of the employee who makes the transfer. Immediate use means that the hazardous chemical will be under the control of and used only by the person who transfers it from a labeled container and only within the work shift in which it is transferred.
