Labels are the most convenient source of information about chemicals and their hazard potential. All hazardous-chemical containers must be labeled. Labels must include specific, detailed information about their containers' contents. Labels include one or more standardized symbols to help you quickly identify the contents of a container.

Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) provide more information than a label. SDSs must always be immediately available to all affected employees for review.

There are two main types of hazards, physical and health, present in a workplace where hazardous chemicals or materials are present. Fire and explosion are the most common physical hazards. Health hazards may be acute or sudden, such as burns or lacerations, or chronic, such as silicosis or dermatitis caused by long-term exposure to a chemical hazard. Health hazards can affect a body through absorption, inhalation, ingestion, or injection.

Safe work practices, product substitution, engineering controls, training and communication, environmental monitoring, personal monitoring, and personal protective equipment are all measures by which you can control physical and health hazards associated with chemicals in a workplace. A written hazard-communication program must be established in all workplaces where employees are exposed to hazardous chemicals.
