OSHA has adopted new hazardous chemical labeling requirements as a part of its recent revision of the Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200 (HCS), bringing it into alignment with the United Nations’ Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). These changes will help ensure improved quality and consistency in the classification and labeling of all chemicals, and will also enhance worker comprehension. As a result, workers will have better information available on the safe handling and use of hazardous chemicals, thereby allowing them to avoid injuries and illnesses related to exposures to hazardous chemicals.

BS 5609 Complaint Labels

The British Standard BS 5609 is the Marine Immersion Label testing standard. It outlines durability requirements for pressure-sensitive labels used to identify hazardous chemicals being transported by sea. The BS 5609 certification is a two-part certification for both the label material and the printed information on the label. Both elements must be tested successfully, as evidenced by separate certifications, for a label to achieve the BS 5609 certification.

NFPA Labels

NFPA 704 Standard System for the Identification of the Hazards of Materials for Emergency Response is a standard maintained by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). In order to make consumers aware of the dangers of certain chemicals, the NFPA has come up with a system to indicate the health, reactivity, and flammability of chemicals.

Northern Label offers custom chemical safety labels corresponding to the NFPA hazard ratings noted below. This system includes the use of number and color codes in which red stands for flammability, yellow for reactivity, blue for health, and white for special precautions..

Hazard Ratings Summary:

3 – Warning – Material is toxic or corrosive, skin contact and inhalation should be avoided.

2 – Warning – Can be harmful if absorbed or inhaled.

1 – Caution – Can cause minor irritation

0 – No known hazard.

Reactivity – Yellow

4 – Danger – At room temperature, the material is explosive.

3 – Danger – Can be explosive if mixed with water, heated under confinement, or shocked.

2 – Warning – Unstable and can react violently when mixed with water.

1 – Caution – Can react when mixed with water or heated but not violently.

0 – Stable – When mixed with water, material is not reactive.

Flammability – Red

4 – Danger – An extremely flammable gas or liquid.

3 – Warning – Flammable liquid with a flash point below 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

2 – Caution – A combustible liquid that has a flash point between 100 and 200 degrees Fahrenheit.

1 – Combustible when heated.

0 – Not combustible.

Special Precautions – White

Oxy – Oxidizing Agent

W – Water Reactive
