OSHA and labels

It is often said that OSAH does not require labels. While regulations may not always spell out word for word what you should do to make your facility as safe as possible, it certainly makes sure you know how to do it. OSHA gives very specific information on how to label a variety of hazards, and also notes that it is a legal responsibility to make sure those hazards are properly communicated.

Obviously, labeling hazards is not all you need to do. Hazard communication involves safety labeling under OSHA compliance, but it also requires a full communication of hazards. This means clear, easy to read labels that are made to last, coupled with a hazard communication program within your organization. Safety labels alone are not enough- your employees need to know how to read them, and what they mean.
