Labeling Non-Hazardous Substances for Proper Storage and Handling

When storing and handling non-hazardous substances in a laboratory setting, it is crucial to ensure that these materials are properly labeled. This not only aids in safe storage but also facilitates quick and easy identification by personnel. Due to the lower inherent risks posed by non-hazardous substances, the labeling requirements are less stringent compared to hazardous materials. However, adherence to specific guidelines is still mandatory to ensure safety and regulatory compliance.

Labeling Information Requirements for Non-Hazardous Substances

Below are the key information that must be included on the label of non-hazardous substances:

Full Chemical Name and Concentration of Constituents: The full name of the substance and the concentration of its components must be specified. Abbreviations, chemical symbols, and structures are not sufficient and must be avoided. User Name and Contact Number: The name of the person responsible for the substance and their contact details should be clearly labeled. This ensures that responsible personnel can be easily contacted in case of any questions or issues. Date and Location: The date of the label (commonly the date it is created or checked) and the location where the substance is stored (e.g., school, section, building, lab number) must be provided.
