Chemistry & ProductsQuestion 89 of 100
During an inspection the inspector finds monomer poured into an unlabeled sports-drink bottle, sitting open on a shelf next to the salon's water heater. What is wrong with this?
a.Products must stay in their original closed, labeled containers, stored cool and away from heat and open flame — never decanted into unlabeled or food and drink containers.
b.Nothing is wrong, because the technician who poured it knows what is in the bottle.
c.It is acceptable as long as the bottle is used up within a week and then thrown away.
d.Only disinfectants have to be labeled; professional nail products are exempt from labeling.
Explanation
Every chemical in the salon has to be identifiable to employees and to the inspector, which is why products stay in their original labeled containers, kept closed, cool and away from heat and flame. A drink bottle is the worst possible choice because someone can swallow the contents, and an unlabeled container also defeats the right-to-know rules and the matching Safety Data Sheet. Personal knowledge, short-term use, and the idea that only disinfectants need labels are all incorrect.
