DRUM LABEL FORMAT FOR ALCOHOL BLENDS
VISTA
The labels on most Alfol blends are necessary for compliance with the
OSHA Hazard Communication Standard. The standard also requires that
the material safety data sheet for the product contain "the identity
used on the label".
It would be considered non-compliance to have
MSDS's for Alfol blends indicating "all blends" and have specific
blend names on the label.
More specifically changing the labels
would also require significant MSDS changes.
With few exceptions the Alfol blends present the same hazards and the current labels do provide adequate hazard warning with the "all blend" labeling scheme.
However, I do understand the concerns regarding specific product
identification.
I believe this issue has been addressed in other
areas, such as alumina, where a "generic" hazard warning label was
used, and alternate product identification methods were developed.
Before changing the labels and MSDS's, I propose we meet to other options to meet the product identification concerns. let me or Michele know how you want to proceed.
