A workplace label must include the identity of the hazardous chemical, appropriate hazard warnings, and the name and address of the manufacturer or responsible party. Additionally, it should provide information on the safe handling and usage of the chemical, as well as any necessary precautionary measures. This ensures that employees are informed about the risks and safe practices associated with the chemical.

Yes, a workplace label can be written by hand as long as it is clear, legible, and includes all required information such as the product name, hazards, and necessary precautionary measures. However, using printed labels is recommended for consistency and to avoid errors in information.
The workplace label under WHMIS (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System) does not include detailed hazard information or safety data, such as the chemical's complete composition, toxicological data, or emergency response procedures. It typically provides only essential information like the product name, hazard symbols, handling instructions, and safe storage requirements. For comprehensive details, one must refer to the corresponding Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
The answer is yes and no. A supplier label may wind up being a workplace label if it complies with OSHA standards and is used to identify the original contents once it enters the workplace. However, workers often empty the contents of a supplier's storage (e.g. drum or sack) into a "secondary container." Once hazardous chemicals are moved to these containers, they need to be relabeled. This would be referred to as a secondary container workplace label. Labeling supplies are now available for the new OSHA-GHS requirements just passed in 2012. Alternative NFPA Diamond label is also available if you wish to use these instead.
