Precautionary information should, so far as practicable, reach every person using, handling, or stor ing chemicals. The most practical means for the seller to disseminate this information appears to be by warning labels affixed to containers of hazardous chemicals, bearing appropriate precautionary statements ex pressed as simply and briefly as circumstances permit. Such labels, how ( ever, cannot take the place of the education of employees regarding chemical hazards and the use of safety clothing and equipment which are and must remain the direct responsibility of employers. Many chemicals present no hazards in normal handling and stor age and for these products no precautionary statements are necessary on the label. To achieve uniform and more adequate labeling of hazardous l chemical products, the Labels and Precautionary Information (LAPI) f Committee of the Manufacturing Chemists' Association, Inc., has pre pared this Manual for the benefit and guidance of its members. Part I sets forth principles for the preparation of warning labels. Part II con tains suggested warning labels for specific chemicals illustrative of the application of these principles. Part III contains suggested warning labels showing the application of the principles of Part I to a group of chemical products used in the "economic poisons" field. The Surgeon General of the United States Public Health Service has recently decided to discontinue the labeling agreements entered into some years ago with the manufacturers of a few specific chemicals. This was done because today adequate precautionary labels are in very genera) use by chemical manufacturers. The United States Public 5 CMA 035960 Health Service has approved the principles of precautionary labeling developed by the Manufacturing Chemists' Association, and will con tinue its interest in this field in cooperation with the Association. It is felt that coo]>cration on the present broad basis will best serve the purjMise intended when the earlier more specific agreements were made. Individual statutes, regulations or ordinances may require that particular information be included in a label or that a specific label be affixed to a container. In each case, the requirements of these laws should be studied. The warning labels suggested in this Manual should be used in addition to, or in combination with, any label required by law* * f ederal statutes and regulations affecting the labeling of chemical materials includr Federal Caustic Poison Act and regulations; Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Ftodeniicide Act and regulations; Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and regulations; interstate Commerce Commission Regulations for Transportation of Explosives and Other Dangerous Articles and others, (lopirs are obtainable at nominal cost from the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C., or directly from the agencies that administer the laws. Slate and local governments frequently regulate labeling through statutes, ordinances, and regulations affecting industrial chemicals; poisons; insecticides, fungicides, rodenticides and herbicides; foods, drugs, and cosmetics; agricultural and horticultural materials; the practice of pharmacy; and other subjects. Copies are usually obtainable from stale or local Departments of Health, Agriculture, Pharmacy, or other regulatory agencies. PART I Principles Generaf Principles In preparing warning labels, the following general principles should serve as a guide: (1) Each chemical product presents a distinct problem and must be treated individually in the light of its own characteristics. Conclu sions regarding the hazards of a product cannot safely be drawn either from the properties of the materials from which it is formed or by analogies based upon chemical structure. Mixtures of two or more chemicals may have properties that vary in kind or degree from those of the individual components; any warning label should be based on the properties of the finished product. Impurities may contribute hazardous properties and should not be overlooked. (2) All statements on warning labels should lie brief, accurate, and expressed in simple, easily understood terms. (3) Piecautionary labeling should be used only when and to the extent necessary. The language should be practical, not based alone upon the inherent properties of a product, but directed toward the avoidance of hazards resulting from such use, handling and storage as may reasonably be anticipated. The use of warning labels for relatively harmless products or the use of unnecessary words will develop a disregard for labels and defeat their purpose as surely as will failure to give adequate notice of hazards. (4) On labels for different products, uniformity in language to in dicate the same hazards and same degree of hazard is most desirable in order to gain greater understanding through standardization. (5) The following subject matter should be considered for inclusion on a warning label: A. Name of Product B. Signal word designating degree of hazard--DANGER!, WARN ING!, or CAUTION! 7 CMA 035962 C. Affirmative statement of hazatds. D. Precautionary measures covering actions to be followed or avoided. E. Instructions in case of contact or exposure, where advisable. (Note: Under some laws antidotes are required when the word "POISON" is used.) Instructions for the handling and storage of containers should also be considered for inclusion on the label. This is information relating to characteristics of the container as well as those of its contents, and is discussed separately under Container Handling and Storage instruc tions, page 17. (C) The inclusion of the word "POISON" and the skull and crossbones on a label should be limited to those cases where the product is a poison according to a definite toxicity standard* or where such use is prescribed by law. When used, this legend should be in addi tion to the other label warnings and should not take the place of the signal words DANGER!, WARNING!, and CAUTION! which are designed to show the relative degree of hazard. (7) A non-descriptive code designation or trade name should not be used as the only identification of a hazardous chemical. If the com plete chemical name is not shown, the label should clearly state the type of chemical, e.g., "corrosive acid," "lead compound." (8) Warning statements should be grouped together in a prominent location on the label and should be printed in easily legible type which is in contrast by typography, layout, or color with other printed matter on the label. The label should be affixed firmly to and in a conspicuous place on the container. Preparation of Warning labels In the preparation of a warning label, the compilation of all avail able relevant information on the product is a necessary first step. An adequate knowledge of the toxicity of the material (obtained from the literature or through laboratory tests) and data on physical and chemi cal projierties, packaging, and methods of handling and use of the product ate needed to make possible a description of the hazards. In the case of an established product advantage should be taken of the experience of people involved in manufacturing, shipping and using Sec U`ims page M. 8 the material. All the General Principles should be kept in mind and the following information considered for inclusion on the label: A. Name of Product This is important infotination for the safety of handlers and users. It is preferable that the chemical name of the product be used. The recommendations of the Ametican Chemical Society for nomenclature should be followed. Ttade names may be used in addition to chemical names. A non-descriptive code designa tion or trade name should not be used as the only identification of a hazardous chemical. If the complete chemical name is not shown, the label should at least clearly state the type of chemical, e g., "cor rosive acid," "lead compound." B. Signal Word This word is intended to draw attention to the presence of hazard, and to indicate the degree of severity. The signal words recommended are, in the order of diminishing seveiity of hazard: ID DANGER! (2) WARNING! 13) CAUTION! Degree of severity can be expressed only in relative terms. "Danger" is the strongest of the three words and should be used for those products presenting the most serious hazards. "Caution" is recom mended for those compounds presenting the least serious hazards. "Warning" is intermediate between "Danger" and "Caution." Ref erence to the illustrative labels in Part II of this Manual will help in the selection of the proper signal word. C. Statement of Hazards This statement should give notice of the hazards that are present in connection with the customary or rea sonably anticipated handling or use of the product. Examples are: CAUSES BURNS VAPOR EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS Many chemical products will present more than one type of hazard, in which case appropriate statements for each significant type should be included on the label. In general, the most serious hazard should be stated first. While any compound may lx- hazardous if improperly used, it is impractical to cover every possible contingency on a label. Efforts should be directed toward giving notice of the significant hazards. A minor hazard may frequently lie covered dearly and briefly by an appropriate piecautionary statement alone. In some cases the total 9 CMA 035963 hazard of a product, while justifying one or more precautionary mensutcs, may be ot stu b older as to requite no statement of hazard on the label. , 1). Pkkcaijiionaky Mkasuki-.s These instructions are intended to supplement the statement of hazards by setting forth briefly meas ures to be taken to avoid injury or damage from stated hazards. Examples are: Keep away from heat and open flame. Avoid breathing dust. Precautionary measures may be included for hazards not considered of sufficient importance to require mention in the statement of hazards. Statements similar to, "Do not take internally," deserve special at tention. They are seldom necessary where the precautionary measure to be followed is obvious as, for example, when the product is labeled "Poison" or the statement of hazards contains the words, "may be fatal if swallowed." On the other hand, the instruction may be desirable if the name, appearance, use or other attributes of the chemical are likely to result in its being taken orally through accident or mistaken identity. E. Instructions in Cask of Contact or Extosiirk The primary purpose of a warning label is to prevent injury or damage. How ever, instructions in case of contact or exposure may be included in those instances where the results of contact or exposure are severe and immediate treatment is highly desirable, and where simple remedial measures may be taken safely by non-professional persons before medical assistance is available. Instructions should Ire limited to recognized first aid procedures based on simple methods and commonly available materials. Instruc tions for strictly medical treatment should be omitted except when specifically required by law or indicated by special circumstances. Because of the serious and lasting effects that may result from eye injuries, a recommendation to get medical attention should accom pany any s|>ecilic instructions directed to treatment of the eyes. In certain instances simple remedial measures such as washing, or removal of clothing, may be included where they will serve to avoid serious injury following contact or exposure. 10 All precautionary information should appear on the label as a unit and should be pi in ted in the order given above. The labels in Pails II and III illustrate suitable arrangements and indicate relative promi nence that should be given to the individual statements. Such relative prominence may be achieved in a number of ways such as by vaiiation in type size, color, or layout of the printed mateiial. Table 1, on Page 18, is intended as a guide in the selection of pre cautionary statements for warning labels. Listed aie classifications of materials according to the hazardous properties must frequently en countered in chemical products. Opposite each classification are given statements of hazard, precautionary measures and, in most cases, in structions in case of contact or exposure. It is important to recognize that chemicals can have inherent in them mote than one of such hazardous properties, and that the label wording for such products should include an appropriate combination of the pertinent statements. As each chemical product must be treated individually in the light of its own characteristics and customary or reasonably anticipated handling or use, there will be many instances in which the illustrative statements in Table 1 will not be applicable, either because they do not accurately express the degree of hazard or because they fail to cover the particular characteristics. In such cases, suitable statements should be chosen to fit the situation. The illustrative labels in Part II of this Manual may lie helpful in the choice of appropriate wording. 11 CMA 035964 labels for Small Commercial Packages The principles governing the preparation of warning labels dis cussed in Part I and the illustrative labels in Part II of this Manual have been developed primarily for bulk packages of chemicals in tended for industrial use. The general principles apply, however, to chemicals packaged in small containers. These may include, among others, chemical products in retail packages intended for the ultimate consumer; highly purified chemicals intended for research, testing, or control; and chemicals intended for professional use such as in pharmacy. As stated in the General Principles on page 7, each chemical prod uct presents a distinct problem and must be treated individually in the light of its own characteristics. This same principle will apply to smalt containers. Small containers may present a problem of less available space for labeling purposes. Careful and selective shortening of warn ing statements for such containers may be in order if necessary to permit legibility, or if the wording on labels for the chemical in indus trial packages is not applicable. Consideration should always be given to (1) the intended or reasonably anticipated handling or use of the particular product, (2) the training and experience of the expected user and (3) the extent to which the hazard is modified by the size or type of container. The following principles are recommended for condensation of suggested label wording where necessary or advisable: (1) Retain the Signal Word; (2) Retain the Statement of Hazards, shortened if necessary to a practical equivalent; (3) Consider omission of Precautionary Measures if they are clearly indicated or implied from the Statement of Hazards or can be clearly indicated or implied by revising the Statement of Hazards;4 5 (4) Consider omission of wording relating to hazards that may be less serious because of the particular characteristics of the package, the nature of the use, and the training and experience of the user. Care must be taken to include precautionary measures for any additional hazard which may be present as a result of such characteristics, use, or training and experience. (5) Care should be taken that labels prepared in accordance with the above principles include all information required by law (see foot note on page 6). 12 labe/s for Samples and for New Products for Investigational Use Samples: In general, the label for samples of a product should bear the same precautionary information that is on the commercial label, with the exception of possible differences in container instructions. If the prod uct is not in commercial production the label for samples should be prepared in accordance with the principles stated in this Manual. New Products for Investigational Use: Chemical, physical and toxicological data should be obtained on any product before it is distributed so that hazardous properties can be described on the label. However, it may occasionally be necessary to make delivery of a new product for investigational use before all of these data arc obtained. For instance, the quantity available may be too small for necessary tests or the product may have to be delivered to investigators for the purpose of obtaining the desired information. These deliveries should be made to qualified investigators only and should be labeled as adequately as possible with the information avail able. To cover such cases (and such cases only) the following guide is suggested for preparing labels to be used during the period of in vestigation.

They do not diffuse in air but settle under the influence of gravity. Fume*'--Solid particles generated by condensation from the gaseous state, generally after volatilization from molten metals, etc., and often accompanied by a chemical reaction such as oxidation. Fumes flocculate and sometimes coalesce. Mist5--Suspended liquid droplets generated by condensation from the gaseous to the liquid state or by breaking up a liquid into a dispersed state, such as by splashing, foaming and atomizing. Gas--A normally formless fluid which occupies the space of enclosure and which can be changed to the liquid or solid state by the effect of increased pressure or decreased temperature or both. A gas diffuses. Vapor--The gaseous form of a substance which is normally in the solid or liquid state. A vapor diffuses. Flammaiilk Liquid1--Any liquid which gives off flammable vapors (as determined by Hash point from Tagliabuc's open-cup tester, as used for test of burning oils) at or below a temperature of 80F. Extremely Flammaiilk Liquid--Any liquid which gives off flammable vapors (as determined by flash point from Tagliabue's open-cup tester, as used for test of burning oils) at or below a temperature of 20 F. Corrosive (Physiological)--An agent which in contact with living tissue will cause more or less severe destruction of tissue by chemical action. As used in warning labeling, the term "corrosive" refers to action on living tissue and should not be confused with action on inanimate surfaces such as metals, glass or wood. Irritant (Physiological) --An agent which in contact with living tissue will induce cither immediately or after prolonged or repeated contact a more or less severe local tissue reaction not leading directly to destruction of tissue. 14 j > | Sensitizer (Physiological)--A material which as ordinarily handled does not necessarily cause any discernible reaction in living tissue but which after initial or repeated conlart with the tissue of some individuals may, at a later date, produce a prompt inflammatory reaction on contact, even in minute amounts, with the tissue of the same individuals. PoiSONJ Note: The true determination of the "poisonous" properties of a chemical or mixture of chemicals must be based on its cITect on humans. The collection of adequate data from human experience is usually impossi ble. In the absence of such data it is desirable to establish lor labeling purposes some arbitrary standards based on past experiences and some methods of testing which will permit the presumption of the possible hazards in herent in a given produtt. The use of laboratory animals for this purpose is now considered the most reliable method generally available when con ducted under controlled conditions. A poison is commonly understood to be a product, contact with which will lead to fatal results, usually in a short period of time. Generally only oral intake has been considered. It is becoming more generally recognized, however, that other inodes of contact or routes of entry, in particular inhalation and absorption through the skin, may have similar fatal effect: Any use of the term should, therefore, consider these three common routes of entry. --A chemical or mixture of chemicals which falls within any of the following categories: (a) Produces death within 48 hours in half or more than half of a group of 10 or more laboratory white rats weighing 200-300 grains at a single dose of 50 milligrams or less per kilogram of body weight, when administered orally; or (b) Produces death within 48 hours in half or more than half of a group of 10 or more laboratory white rats weighing 200-300 grams, when inhaled continuously for a period of one hour or less at an atmospheric concentration of 2 milligrams or less per liter of gas, vapor, mist, or dust, provided such concentration is likely to be en countered by man when the chemical product is used in any rea sonable foreseeable manner; or (c) Produces death within 48 hours in half or more than half of a group of 10 or more rabbits tested in a dosage of 200 milligrams or less per kilogram body weight, when administered by con tinuous contact with the bare skin for 24 hours or less. If available data on human experience with any chemical in the above-named concentrations indicate results different from those obtained on animals, the human data shall take precedence. 15 Toxicity--The inherent capacity of a substance to produce bodily injury by other than physical means. Hazard--The risk of injury or illness that is encountered during rea sonably anticipated handling and use of a substance. Hazard is determined by such factors as toxicity, physical characteristics and conditions of use and may not be in direct proportion to toxicity alone. Mixture--A physical commingling of two or more substances which may or may not hear a lixed proportion to one another and which have not reacted chemically with one another. Economic Poison1--Any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling, or mitigating any insects, ro dents, fungi, weeds, and other forms of plant or animal life or viruses, except viruses on or in living man or other animals, which the Secretary (of Agriculture) shall declare to be a pest. ].

The user should familiarize himself with Part I before adapting any of the label state ments contained in Part II to his products. The chemicals were selected to illustrate labeling for the major types of hazards commonly encountered. Consequently the listing covers only a relatively few of the hazardous chemicals for which warning labels are necessary. In many cases these labels are applicable to other products some of which are listed with appropriate cross references. The labels are based on the properties of the named chemicals; the presence of other substances, including impurities, may alter these properties and necessitate additional or different precautionary in formation. General information regarding the handling and storage of con tainers is not included on these labels. This subject is discussed under the heading, "Container Handling and Storage," page 17. First aid treatment is given for a few products only. Such informa tion may be desirable on other products. Where "clothing" is men tioned in first aid instructions, it should be understood to mean all articles of clothing, including shoes, garters, and other accessories. Shoes are specifically named in some instructions, because of special hazards arising from absorption of the chemical by leather. The notation, "MCA Chemical Safety Data Sheet available," appeal ing with certain labels in this section refers to Data Sheets published by the Manufacturing Chemists' Association, Inc. These publications contain detailed information on the chemical, physical, and toxicologi cal properties of the product, as well as information on shipping con tainers, labeling, storage, handling and protective equipment. Prices and a complete list of available Data Sheets may be obtained from the Association.

Wording. is based on the principles set forth in Part I. Careful study should be given to Part I and the special considerations discussed below before any suggested wording is used for an economic poison. These labels have been selected for illustrative purposes only and the listings do not purport to cover all economic poisons for which precautionary labeling is necessary. Omission of a label for any particular product should not be inter preted to mean that such product requires no warning label. The principles in Part I apply primarily to the labeling of hazardous chemicals intended for industrial consumption, some of which are also used as, or for processing into forms of economic poisons intended for home, farm, or other ultimate consumer use. Labels for such packages of economic poisons require consideration of additional factors since they will be handled, stored, and used differently from those intended for industrial consumption. Also, economic poisons labels should in clude warnings not only of hazards to man, but to domestic animals, useful invertebrates, and desirable vegetation. Labels using code or non-descriptive names would not necessarily show separate chemical identification other than the usual legally required ingredient statement. A producer or distributor of an economic poison should be familiar with all pertinent laws, regulations and interpretations affecting these products, including those of the federal government, states, territories, and other political subdivisions; and with any applicable statutes, ordinances, or regulations affecting labeling in general. Statements suggested in Part III should be used in addition to or in combination with any other wording required by law. Each suggested warning label in this section applies to a commercial chemical or, where indicated, to a definite concentration range of a chemical. Many economic poisons are marketed in a variety of formula tions containing different concentrations or combinations of their in gredients. Formulations of two or more constituents may have prop erties that vary in kind or degree from those of the constituents. Jr all cases, the warning statements should be based on the properties of the finished formulation. 71 6690 VINO I * CMA 035994 It has not been practical to propose statements for alt special pack ages, extraordinary uses or other unusual circumstances surrounding individual products. Each statement is designed for the normal and customary use of a particular product when packaged for sale as an economic poison. Each labeler of an economic poison should recognize that his product must be treated individually, in the light of its oum characteristics, including, among others, concentration and grade, pack age sizes and types, channels of distribution, normal storage and trans portation conditions, intended consumers, and intended uses. The label statements in Part III are confined mainly to measures necessary to prevent injury to man and domestic animals arising out of the ordinary handling, storage or use of a product. Additional warn ings may be indicated by the particular form or manner in which a product is sold or the circumstances surrounding its use. There also may be other hazards to man or animals which can arise only from specific uses for which directions are given in die labeling. Frequently an economic poison may also be hazardous to useful invertebrates or useful vegetation, or by reason of residues on edible vegetation. The omission of reference to any of these hazards from any statement in Part III does not imply that they may be disregarded. As a rule such warnings are properly incorporated in directions for use. By way of illustration, notes directed to the foregoing appear in connection with some of the illustrative labels. Even though they may be separated from the principal warnings they should, nevertheless, be prominently displayed. Examples: Do not apply within........ days of harvest. Avoid use during flowering and pollination periods. Do not consume or market fruits or vegetables until residue is removed. Do not use this powder on drainboards, shelves or other places where contact with food is likely. Do not allow spray to come in contact with garden plants. The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act and some state acts require the word "POISON," the skull and crossbones and an antidote on all "economic poisons" deemed "highly toxic to man." Hie meaning of the term "Poison" in Part I of this Manual is in general similar to the definition of "highly toxic to man" in the regula tions under the federal act. The products in this section have been classified according to the "highly toxic to man" definition. The term "Poison" has been commonly understood by the layman to mean toxic by oral intake only. The controlling criteria should con sider oral intake, inhalation, and skin absorption. To clarify the use of 72 the term, labels on packages of economic poisons "highly toxic to man" should specify the modes of entry into the body by which the product is poisonous. Examples: POISONOUS IF SWALLOWED POISONOUS BY SKIN CONTACT MAY BE POISONOUS IF INHALED POISONOUS IF SWALLOWED OB BY ABSORPTION THROUGH SKIN It is not intended that the word "POISON" should take the place of a signal word. Any one of the signal words "DANGER," "WARN ING" or "CAUTION" may be applicable even when a product is poisonous. The selection of the appropriate word will depend not only on the degree of toxicity of the product, but more particularly on the risk of injury presented under normal conditions of handling or use. The word "POISON" (or its derivatives) should be reserved exclusively for those products coming within the definitions of the federal act as "highly toxic to man" except where it may be required by other laws or regulations. For products that are less toxic, statements like the following are preferred: MAY BE FATAL IF SWALLOWED HARMFUL IF INHALED OR SWALLOWED First aid in case of contact is given for a few products only. The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act and some state acts require a statement of an antidote (hi all economic poisons deemed "highly toxic to man."* Such information may be desirable on other products. Where "clothing" is mentioned in first aid instructions, it should be understood to mean all articles of clothing, including shoes, Other states while not following the federal act on the definition of "highly toxic to man" require the word "POISON" and the skull and crossbones and antidote on all substances which fall within the term "poison" as defined in their poison laws. The term "antidote" is defined in the federal act as "a prac tical immediate treatment in case of poisoning and includes first-aid treatment" and the regulations state that "the antidote statement shall include direction to call a physician immediately." Some state laws and regulations require, on labels, the use of special or strictly defined antidotes or prescribe special ways in whirh these must be shown for certain chemicals. The requirements for any given economic poison may, therefore, vary greatly and the impossibility of show ing, in the illustrative labels, antidotes which might be nationally acceptable has lead to the practice of indicating only the need for an appropriate antidote statement where the "POISON-skull and crossbonet" legend is used. 73 j ! ! 1 j j> j ) j ! CMA 036996 garters, and other accessories. Shoes ate sjjecifically named in some in structions, because of special hazards arising from absorption of the chemical by leather. An important principle of good labeling is to avoid the promiscuous use of precautionary statements since they tend to detract from the prominence and importance which should be given to the vital warn ings. Common sense indicates certain fundamental precautions in the handling of nearly all household and farm supplies and a label state ment cannot substitute for it. Phrases such as "Keep away from chil dren and domestic animals," "Avoid contamination of food" and "Do not take internally" should be necessary only where the inherently high toxicity of the product, special use of the material, size of the package, likelihood of mistaken identity, or actual use experience strongly in dicates their need.
