Hazardous chemicals should be properly labelled to take precautions, and to quote Health and Safety Executive (HSE) “Telling others about the classification”.
Labels help identifying the hazards and how to avoid them. Where the supplier concludes that no hazardous properties have been identified, a chemical is not classified as hazardous and there is often nothing more to do with the labels. However, when substance are classified as hazardous it is mandatory to provide information on the label that reflects possible harmful effects.
HSE explains” A hazard label is made up of specific symbols (known as ‘pictograms’) and written warnings. These pictograms and the wording that supports them are set out in law and chemical suppliers must use them where hazardous properties have been identified”.
