Chemical Labels

Q:  Do we have to label secondary containers?  If so, where can we find the information required on the label?  
A:  Unless the employee transferring the substance is in complete control of the container at all times, it would have to be labeled.  Minimal information required on the container would include the chemical/substance name, hazard categories and applicable ratings and target organs/personal protective equipment.  This information can sometimes be found on the original, manufacturers container or the material safety data sheet.
