This American National Standard for the Precautionary Labeling of Hazardous Industrial Chem icals, Z129.1-1976, has been developed by a committee, national in scope, functioning under the procedures of the American National Standards Institute. The Labels and Precautionary Information (LAP1) Committee of the Manufacturing Chemists Association (MCA) was established in 1944. This committee produced the fust published guide to precautionary labeling for hazardous chemicals (Manual L-l) in 1946, and there have been six revisions. This manual has served as a voluntary standard. The need for an official standard for the precautionary labeling of hazardous chemicals used in industrial occupations has been recognized and is filled by American National Standard Z129.11976. Suggestions for improvement of this standard will be welcome. They should be sent to the American National Standards Institute, 1430 Broadway, New York, N.Y. 10018. The following organizations recognized as having an interest in the standardization of precau tionary labeling of hazardous industrial chemicals were contacted prior to the approval of this standard.

The dissemination of this information shall include appropriate precautionary statements expressed as simply and briefly as possible on labels affixed to con tainers of hazardous chemicals. The wording on precau tionary labels cannot be expected to cover the complete information on the properties of a material or the com plete details of its proper handling under all conditions. Such information may be found in the producers' tech nical bulletins or in other literature. Precautionary labeling shall be used only when and to the extent necessary. The language shall be practical -- not based alone upon the inherent properties of a product, but directed toward the avoidance of hazards resulting from such occupational use, handling, and storage as may be reasonably foreseeable. Many prod ucts present no hazard in normal handling and storage. For these products, no precautionary statements are required on the label. 1. Scope This standard applies to the precautionary labeling of hazardous chemicals, as defined herein, used under in dustrial occupational conditions. It does not apply to compressed gases. 2. Glossary of Terms The following terms are used throughout this standard. The definitions given apply specifically to the use of these terms in arriving at appropriate precautionary statements for the labels of the immediate containers of hazardous industrial chemicals. In this respect, these terms serve only as a guide for the application of the principles of labeling set forth in this standard. adequate ventilation. A condition falling within either of the following categories: (1) Ventilation to reduce levels of air contaminant below that which causes personal injury or illness. (2) Ventilation sufficient to prevent accumulation of significant quantities of vapor-air mixtures in con centration over one-fourth of the lower flammable limit. antidote.

General Requirements 3.1 The precautionary label for any hazardous chemi cal or mixture of chemicals shall be based upon the hazards it possesses (including those contributed by impurities), and not upon the hazards of the substances from which it is formed, nor upon hazards derived from analogies based upon chemical structure. 3.2 The following subject matter shall be considered for inclusion on precautionary labels: Identity of prod uct or hazardous component's). Signal Word, State ment of Hazards, Precautionary Measures, instructions in Case of Contact or Exposure, Antidotes, Notes to Physicians, Instructions in Case of Fire and Spill or Leak, and Instructions for Container Handling and Storage. 3.3 Identification of the product or its hazardous com ponent^) shall be adequate to permit selection of proper action in case of exposure. Identification shall not be limited to a nondescriptive code designation or trade name. If the product is a mixture, those compounds which contribute substantially to the hazard(s) shall be identified. 3.4 The Signal Word shall indicate the relative degree of severity of a hazard in the diminishing order of DANGER!, WARNING!, and CAUTION! When a prod uct has more than one hazard, only the Signal Word corresponding to the class of greatest hazard shall be used. 3.5 Inclusion of the word POISON and the skull and crossbones shall be limited to highly toxic chemicals. When used, this legend shall not replace the Signal Word. 3.6 The Statement of Hazards shall give notice of the hazard or hazards (such as EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE and HARMFUL IF ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN) that are present in connection with the customary or reasonably foreseeable handling or use of the product. With products possessing more than one such hazard, an appropriate statement for each significant hazard shall be included. In general, the most serious hazard shall be placed fust. 3.7 The Precautionary Measures (such as "Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame" and "Avoid breath- 9 Table 1 Selection o f Label Text AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Z129.1-1976 10 PRECAUTIONARY LA 6E LTE X T AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Z129.1-I976 11 AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Z129.1-197S ing dust") shall supplement the Statement of Hazards by setting forth briefly measures to be taken to avoid injury from the hazard or hazards. 3.8 Instructions in Case of Contact or Exposure shall be included where the results of contact or exposure are severe and immediate treatment is desirable, and where simple remedial measures may be taken safely before medical assistance is available. They shall be limited to recognized procedures based on simple meth ods and commonly available materials. Simple remedial measures (such as washing or removal of clothing) shall be included where they will serve to avoid serious in jury following contact or exposure. 3.9 Instructions in Case of Fire and Spill or Leak shall be included to provide persons who handle containers during shipment and storage with appropriate instruc tions for confining and extinguishing fires and for cleaning up spills or leaks. They shall be as simple and brief as possible and advise the use of suitable material for control. 3.10 Instructions foT Container Handling and Storage shall be included to provide additional information for those chemicals requiring special or unusual handling and storage procedures. 3.11 Antidotes that may be administered by a lay per son shall be included on the label under the designation "Antidote." Antidotes that must be administered by a physician as well as other useful therapeutic measures, other than purely supportive treatment, shall be included on the label under the designation "Note to Physicians." 4. Selection of Precautionary Label Text 4.1 General. Select applicable precautionary statements from Table 1. This table classifies chemicals on the basis of the hazardous properties that are most fre quently encountered. Opposite each class ofhazard are given a Signal Word, Statements of Hazard, Precaution ary Measures, and, in most cases, Instructions in Case of Contact or Exposure and additional markings. When the texts for different classes of hazard are combined, it may be necessary to eliminate some redun dancies that occur in the Precautionary Measures or First Aid statement. Some Statements of Hazard and Precautionary Measures in Table 1 contain words in parentheses. These words represent choices that are to be made according to the facts in a particular situation. Precautionary labeling detailed in Table 1 is directed primarily to the avoidance of injury from single, acci dental exposures to a chemical. Some chemicals, how ever, produce delayed cumulative or chronic (long- Table 2 Fire Action TYPE OF PRODUCT For water-soluble or dilutable liquids For water-immiscible liquid For solids such as oxidizing agents where water is ap propriate and not dangerous For solids or liquids where water may cause dangerous reaction For flammable gases FIRE EXTINGUISHING STATEMENTS In case of fire, use water (flood with water), dry chemical, CO?, or "alcohol" foam.

When a knowledge of such effects exists, a statement of the hazard(s) together with suitable in structions for the avoidance of such effects) shall be included with the other label information from Table 1. There are hazards other than those dealt with in Table 1 such as those presented by compounds which may be explosive, carcinogenic, teratogenic, mutagenic, or which present other recognized safety or health haz ards. It is beyond the scope of Table 1 to cover all pos sible label needs. However, the general format provided allows for the preparation of appropriate label state ments. Each hazardous substance must be considered individually in the light of its own characteristics and customary or reasonably foreseeable handling or use. In such cases, suitable statements should be developed to fit the situation. Additional useful statements may be found in 4.2 through 4.8 and Tables 2 and 3. 4.2 Fire Action. See 3.9 and Table 2. 4.3 Spit) or Leak Action. See 3.9 and Table 3. 4.4 Instructions for Container Handling and Storage. Applicable instructions (see 3.10) may be selected from 4.4.1 through 4.4.6. 4.4.1 Metal Drums (for Liquids and Semiliquids) Keep closure up to prevent leakage. Keep drum out of sun and away from heat. Relieve internal pressure when received and at least weekly thereafter by slowly loosening plug. Re tighten immediately. Drums should be grounded when being emptied. 12 AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Z129.1-1976 Table 3 Spill or Leak Action TYPE OF CHEMICAL For most liquids For liquids where water ray cause dangerous reaction or otherwise create fur ther hazard (such as in sewer) For materials which generate vapor or fumes with water For most solids (when ap propriate, add instructions for disposal of swept-up material) SPILL OR LEAK STATEMENTS Flush spill (area) with water (spray). In ease of spill, do not use water. Soak up with sand or earth. In case of spill, flush away with water applied quickly to entire spill. (Neutralize (washings) (spill areal with soda ash or lima.) In case of spill, sweep (scoop) up and remove. Flush spill area with water.* 'Substitute or add appropriate words in parentheses. Do not drop or slide across sharp projection. Never use pressure to empty; drum is not a pressure vessel. Keep lights, fire, and sparks away from drums. Drum must not be washed out or used for other purposes. Replace plug after each withdrawal and return with empty drum. Do not expose drum to direct sunlight for long periods of time. 4.4.2 Glass Carboys Before moving carboy be sure closure is securely fastened. Avoid rough handling or dropping. Loosen closure carefully. Keep carboy out of sun and away from heat. Never use pressure to empty; carboy is not a pressure vessel. Completely drain carboy before returning. 4.4.3 Wooden Barrels (for Liquids and Semiliquids) Keep barrel out of sun and away from heat. Store with bilge bung up. Never use pressure to empty. Drain completely. Keep barrel moist - shrinkage may cause leaks. 4.4.4 Plastic Containers with and without Overpacks (for Liquids and Semiliquids) Keep closure up to prevent leakage. Keep container out of sun and away from heat. Do not drop or slide across sharp projections. Never use pressure to empty; container is not a pressure vessel. Keep lights, fire, and sparks away from container. Container must not be washed out or used for other purposes. Replace closure after each withdrawal. Thoroughly drain containers and tighten closure before returning. Do not use container as dilution or mixing vessel. Remove closure carefully to relieve possible internal pressure. 4.4.5 Fiber Drams Protect from direct contact with water or excessive moisture. Do not drop onto, or slide across, sharp objects. Do not store on tide. Avoid creasing or impacting of side walls. 4.4.6 Shipping Sacks Protect from direct contact with water or excessive moisture. Only those bags marked "May be used for open storage" should be so used. Never store on ground. Keep out of sun and away from heat. Do not drop or slide across sharp projections. In case of puncture, use overslip bag and securely close. 4.5 Antidote Statements. While it is generally true that specific antidotes are known for very few chemicals and many of these can be administered only by a physi cian, there are some measures which may be used by laymen with benefit (see 3.11). Specific examples are given in 4.S.1 through 4.5.5. Others may be developed by the user of this standard for appropriate application to other chemicals. 4.5.1 For acid corrosive substances that are not toxic or highly toxic by ingestion: Antidote. If swal lowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Give large quantities of water. Give at least 1 ounce of milk of magnesia or aluminum hydroxide gel in an equal amount of water. If these are not available, the whites of two or three eggs may be used. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician. 4.5.2 For alkaline corrosive substances that are not toxic or highly toxic by ingestion: Antidote. If swal lowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Give large quantities of water. Give at least 1 ounce of vinegar in an equal amount of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician. 4.5.3 For cyanides and cyanide-like substances: Antidote. Always have on hand a cyanide first-aid kit. Break an amyl nitrite pearl in a cloth and hold lightly under nose for 15 seconds. Repeat five times at about 15-second intervals. Call a physician. 4.5.4 For soluble barium salts: Antidote. If swal lowed, induce vomiting and then give 1 tablespoon of epsom salt in a glass of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician. 13 AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Z129.1-J976 4.5.5 For cholinesterase-inhibiting compounds that are highly toxic: Antidote. Atropine is an antidote. Con sult your physician about obtaining a supply ofl/100grain (0.6-milligram) tablets for emergency use. If symp toms include blurred vision, stomach cramps, or tight ness in chest, don't wait for a physician but take two tablets at once. Do not take atropine unless symptoms of poisoning have occurred. Anyone who has been sick enough to have taken atropine must be seen by a physi cian as soon as possible. 4.6 Notes to Physicians. Physicians may not always be familiar with specific antidotes for given chemicals or with specific practices found useful by experts in the management of some poisonings. It may, in certain cases, be desirable to acquaint the physician with an antidote or with a specific form of medical management through a Note to Physicians on the label (see 3.11). Specific examples are given in 4.6.1 through 4.6.4. The user of this standard may wish to discuss with his medical consultant the need for or ap propriateness of a Note to Physicians in the labeling of his products. The Note to Physicians should be prepared by physicians. 4.6.1 Pot soluble arsenic compounds: Note to Physi cians. If swallowed, give gastric lavage followed by saline cathartic. Force fluids. In all cases, give dimercaprol (BAL) in recommended dosages. 4.6.2 For cholinesterase-inhibiting compounds that are highly toxic: Note to Physicians. Warning symptoms include weakness, headache, tightness of chest, blurred vision, nonreactive pinpoint pupils, salivation, sweating, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. Give atropine intramuscularly or intravenously, depending on severity of poisoning, 2 to 4 milligrams (three to six tablets, 1/100 grain each) every 15 minutes until fully atropinized as shown by dilated pupils, dry flushed skin, and tachycardia. Twenty to thirty milligrams, or more, may be required during the first 24 hours. Never give opiates or phenothiazine tranquilizers. Dear chest by postural drainage. Artificial respiration or oxygen ad ministration may be necessary. Observe patient contin uously for at least 48 hours. Allow no further exposure to any cholinesterase inhibitor until cholinesterase re generation has taken place as determined by blood tests. 4.6.3 For cyanides and cyanide-like substances: Note to Physicians. If patient has not responded to amyl nitrite, inject intravenously 10 milliliters of a 3% solution of sodium nitrite at a rate not greater than 2.5 to 5.0 milliliters per minute. Follow directly with 50 milliliters of a 25% solution of sodium thiosulfate at the same rate by the same route. Keep patient under observation. If signs of poisoning persist ot reappear, repeat nitrite and thiosulfate injections 1 hour later in one-half the original doses. 4.6.4 For methemoglobin-inducing compounds: Note to Physicians. Absorption of this product into the body leads to the formation of methemoglobin which, in sufficient concentration, causes cyanosis. Since re version of methemoglobin to hemoglobin occurs spon taneously after termination of exposure, moderate degrees of cyanosis need be treated only by supportive measures such as bed rest and oxygen inhalation. Thor ough cleansing of the entire contaminated area of the body, including scalp and nails, is of utmost importance. If cyanosis is severe, intravenous injection of methylene blue, 1 milligram per kilogram of body weight, may be of value. 4.7 Other Useful Statements of Hazard 4.7.1 Inhalation INHALATION MAY BE FATAL OR CAUSE DELAYED LUNG INJURY HARMFUL IF INHALED AND MAY CAUSE DELAYED LUNG INJURY HIGHLY VOLATILE VAPOR EXTREMELY IRRITATING EXTREMELY IRRITATING GAS AND LIQUID UNDERPRESSURE GAS EXTREMELY IRRITATING LUNG INJURY AND BURNS MAY BE DELAYED REPEATED INHALATION OR SKIN CONTACT MAY, WITHOUT SYMPTOMS, INCREASE SUSCEPTIBILITY 4.7.2 Contact RAPIDLY ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN CAUSES SEVERE BURNS WHICH MAY NOT BE IMMEDIATELY PAINFUL OR VISIBLE MAY CAUSE RASH OR EXTERNAL ULCERS MAY CAUSE BURNS OR EXTERNAL ULCERS LIQUID OR VAPOR CAUSES BURNS WHICH MAY BE DELAYED CAUSES SEVERE BURNS - EFFECTS ON EYES MAY BE DELAYED MAY CAUSE EYE INJURY - EFFECTS MAY BE DELAYED 4.7.3 Reactive 4.7.3.1 Liberates Gas SPILLAGE MAY CAUSE FIRE OR LIBERATE DANGEROUS GAS CONTACT WITH WATER OR MOIST AIR LIBERATES IRRITATING GAS CONTACT WITH ACID LIBERATES POISONOUS GAS CONTACT WITH WATER OR ACID SLOWLY LIBERATES POISONOUS AND FLAMMABLE HYDROGEN SULFIDE GAS 14 AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Z129.1-1976 LIBERATES HEAVY CAS WHICH MAY CAUSE SUFFOCATION LIBERATES POISONOUS GAS 4.7.3.2 Fire Hazard CONTACT WITH WATER MAY CAUSE FLASH FIRE MAY IGNITE IF ALLOWED TO BECOME DAMP HEAT, SHOCK, OR CONTACT WITH OTHER MATERIALS MAY CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSIVE DECOMPOSITION CONTACT WITH OTHER MATERIAL MAY CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION, ESPECIALLY IF HEATED REACTS VIOLENTLY WITH WATER, LIBERATING AND IGNITING HYDROGEN POWERFUL OXIDIZER 4.7.3.3 Explosive MAY FORM EXPLOSIVE PEROXIDES FORMS SHOCK-SENSITIVE MIXTURES WITH CERTAIN OTHER MATERIALS MAY EXPLODE IF WATER CONTENT IS 10% OR BELOW 4.7.3.4 Pressure Hazard CONTAMINATION MAY RESULT IN DANGEROUS PRESSURE LIQUID AND GAS UNDER PRESSURE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS LIQUID AND VAPOR UNDER PRESSURE 4.7.4 Miscellaneous MAY BE FATAL OR CAUSE BLINDNESS IF SWALLOWED CANNOT BE MADE NONPOISONOUS REPEATED ABSORPTION MAY RESULT IN BLADDER TUMORS EXTREMELY COLD (109F BELOW ZERO) (-78C) NOTE: In some cues the total hazard of a product, while justi fying one or more precautionary measures or other instructions, may be of such order as to require no statement of hazard. 4.8 Other Useful Precautionary Measures 4.8.1 Eyes and Skin Ordinary rubber protective clothing, including gloves, will not prevent skin absorption.

Liquid penetrates leather shoes causing delayed burns. Use fresh clothing daily. Take hot shower after work using plenty of soap. Call a physician at once in case of bums, especially to eyes, nose, and throat or if patient is unconscious. Flush eyes for at least 30 minutes. In case of contact, immediately remove from skin with dry cloth followed by flushing with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes; get medical attention. Re move contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Skin: Remove SODIUM and flush affected area with water. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. 4.8.2 Inhalation Avoid breathing dust or solution spray. Avoid breathing dust or spray mist. Avoid prolonged or repeated breathing of vapor. Avoid exposure to vapor. Avoid breathing dust or vapor. Do not enter places where used or stored until ade quately ventilated. Use only with adequate ventilation and in closed systems. Always wear a self-contained breathing apparatus or full-face air-line respirator when using this chemical. Have available emergency self-contained breathing ap paratus or full-face air-line respirator when using this chemical. Have available emergency gas masks approved by U.S. Bureau of Mines for bromine service. This gas deadens the sense of smell. Do not depend on odor to detect presence of gas. In case of inhalation or suspicion of inhalation, move patient at once to fresh air and call a physician. Keep patient absolutely quiet and start oxygen inhalation through suitable equipment. 4.8.3 Ingestion Do not take internally. Do not taste. 4.8.4 Fire In case of fire, smother with soda ash, dry sand, or car bon dioxide. Dispose of by flushing away with a large volume of water under adequate ventilation. In case of lire, stop flow of gas. Use dry chemical or carbon dioxide when necessary to gain access to valve. In case of fire, smother with dry sand, dry ground lime stone, or dry powder type agents specially designed for metal powder fires. Do not use carbon tetrachlo ride, CO] extinguishers, or water. 4.8.5 Reactive 4.8.5.1 Fire Hazard Keep away from contact with oxidizing materials. Keep from contact with clothing and other combustible materials to avoid fire. 15 AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Z129.1-1976 Drying of this product on clothing or combustible mate rials may cause fire.
