Chemical name(s) and hazard warnings can be found on the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) provided by the supplier when the chemical was purchased. If you cannot locate the SDS, obtain one from the supplier. Place the label, tag or marking in a conspicuous place on the container. Individual stationary process containers can be identified by signs, rather than affixing the label to the container. The following labeling requirements shall be followed: • Signs or labels shall not be obscured or removed • Warnings shall be stated for environmental exposures to a chemical known to the state to cause cancer or to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm [22 CCR Division 2, Chapter 3, Article 6, Section 12601(d)] • Signs shall be in English as a primary language or in symbols • Signs shall be durable.
