SafetyQuestion 671 of 1632

California's HazCom regulation (Title 8 CCR §5194), aligned with the Globally Harmonized System (GHS), requires container labels for hazardous chemicals to include:

a.Identifier, supplier details, hazard rating, and pictograms
b.Identifier, signal word, NFPA rating, precautions
c.Identifier, signal word, statements, pictograms, supplier
d.Identifier, two signal words, statements, pictograms

Explanation

Section 5194(f)(1) requires six elements on a shipped container: the product identifier; ONE signal word; hazard statements; pictograms; precautionary statements; and the name, address and telephone number of the chemical manufacturer, importer or other responsible party - which is why the key names the supplier as well as the statements. Option (d) is the near miss and breaks on the signal word: only one appears on a label, 'Danger' for the more severe hazard categories and 'Warning' for the less severe, and the label carries the one for the most severe class. Options (a) and (b) substitute the NFPA 704 numeric hazard rating, a different and voluntary system widely used on California buildings and storage rooms; (a) also drops the signal word and the statements, and (b) drops the pictograms.
