Australia Model Code of Practice: Managing Risks of Hazardous Chemicals in the Workplace 2.3: 2.3 Label hazardous chemicals, containers and pipework correctly

A manufacturer or importer must ensure a hazardous chemical is correctly labelled as soon as practicable after manufacture or import, and a supplier must not supply it to another workplace if they know or ought to know it is not correctly labelled. The PCBU must ensure hazardous chemicals, their containers and pipework are correctly labelled, including containers into which chemicals were decanted and containers of chemical waste. Labels show signal words (danger or warning), hazard statements and pictograms, but some labels do not carry all hazard information, for example consumer products, small labels or labels meeting transport requirements, so the SDS should always be read too. An unlabelled or wrongly labelled container must be labelled correctly. If contents are unknown the container should be clearly marked, for example not to be used, stored separately until identified and disposed of in line with local waste rules if identification is impossible.
