Labels are essential for identifying and handling toxic substances safely. A comprehensive label should include:
1. Chemical Name: The full name of the substance, not just the trade name. 2. Concentration: Information about the concentration of the toxic substance. 3. Hazard Symbols: Standardized symbols indicating the type of hazard (flammable, corrosive, toxic, etc.). 4. Risk Phrases: Specific phrases that describe the risks associated with the substance. 5. Safety Instructions: Guidelines for safe handling, storage, and emergency measures. 6. Manufacturer Information: Contact information for the manufacturer or supplier. 7. Date: The date of receipt and the date of expiration, if applicable.
