Prevent Harmful Exposure with Effective Chemical Hazard Communication

Clarion Safety’s chemical safety labels inform people of potential hazards associated with chemicals and provide instruction regarding the use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) so harmful exposure can be avoided. Our chemical warning labels, which incorporate various standardized chemical hazard symbols, apply to a wide spectrum of equipment in various industries. From chemical processing machinery to laboratory equipment, our labels play a pivotal role in alerting operators, maintenance personnel, and users to potential dangers stemming from the use of corrosive materials, flammable substances, toxic compounds, and more.

Applications and Industry Use

Whether it's on storage tanks, mixing equipment, analytical instruments, or any apparatus dealing with hazardous chemicals, Clarion Safety labels serve as critical visual aids to convey vital information that can prevent accidents and injuries.

Health Hazards and Control Measures

Injuries stemming from inadequate chemical hazard communication can be severe and far-reaching. Burns, respiratory issues, skin irritations, and even chronic health problems can result from improper handling or interaction with hazardous chemicals. Equipment manufacturers and employers should always take engineering, administrative, and PPE controls to avoid unnecessary exposure to chemical substances. These include, but are not limited to substituting for safer alternatives, usage of fume hoods, repeating visual warnings, rotating work schedules, and providing chemical protective clothing. Labels and instructions then support and reinforce these safety messages, warnings, and instructions.

By seamlessly integrating our chemical hazard symbol and warning labels onto equipment, manufacturers can proactively address safety concerns, contributing significantly to the prevention of chemical-related accidents and injuries. As you explore our diverse range of labels, keep in mind the tangible impact they can have in establishing a safer working environment and ensuring the well-being of all individuals interacting with the equipment.

GHS Compliance and Customization Options

Our chemical hazard labels also include GHS warnings, which requires the use of specific pictograms, signal words, hazard statements, and precautionary statements on labels and safety data sheets to convey the potential hazards associated with chemicals. These labels and warnings are meant to inform users about the risks posed by hazardous chemicals and guide them on proper handling, storage, and usage.

FAQs About Chemical Hazard Labels and GHS Compliance

Any chemical classified as hazardous under OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) or GHS must be labeled. This includes corrosive substances, flammables, oxidizers, carcinogens, sensitizers, irritants, and toxic materials. If your equipment or facility uses or stores chemicals with physical or health risks, hazard labeling is required.

Our labels are engineered for long-term durability in demanding settings, including exposure to solvents, high temperatures, and moisture. Unlike many lower-cost competitors, Clarion Safety’s labels use industrial-grade materials and adhesives rated for extreme environments to ensure your safety messaging remains intact and legible.
