CNSM CONTAINER LABELING POLICY

• NAME (and concentration) of the material: Write out the FULL NAME! Do not use abbreviations or formulas such as HCl, ETOH, IPA, etc.

• HAZARD: Use the hazard(s) indicated on the original container, i.e. flammable, corrosive, oxidizer, poison, and/or water reactive, etc.

If re-using a container, make sure old and/or inappropriate labels are completely removed or defaced. Bottles with permanently fused or etched labels (e.g. ethanol bottles and factory-labeled reagent bottles with ground glass stoppers) MAY NOT BE RE-LABELED AND USED for a different material. 

 Hazardous Waste:  All hazardous waste must be labeled with the yellow pre-printed “Hazardous Waste” label available in all Department Offices and in the CNSM Safety Office.  All sections must be filled out properly, including the “START DATE”, which is the date the first drop of waste was collected.  Click on this link to see the complete Hazardous Waste Collection and Labeling Policy.
