Regulatory agencies such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) have established guidelines for the safe labeling and storage of chemicals. These regulations require:
- Standardized Labels: Use of consistent symbols and phrases for hazard communication. - Safety Data Sheets (SDS): Provision of detailed information about the chemical, including its properties and handling instructions. - Training Requirements: Ensuring that personnel handling chemicals are adequately trained in understanding labels and storage protocols.
