Hazardous Materials Labels
Course Length: 30 minutes
High-impact training
covering the essentials of hazardous materials labels.
One important method for identifying hazardous materials is
through the use of container labels. From bottles and drums to trucks and
railcars, labels and placards provide information about the contents of a
container, as well as what to do and who to call in case of an emergency.
Because this information is so critical for the safe handling and transporting
of these potentially dangerous substances, several organizations have developed
labeling and placarding systems to communicate to employees about a container's
contents.
