Pressure-Sensitive Safety Labels

 

These highly visible labels are GHS-compliant and refer to ChemAlert™ colors that match FisherLOCK™ caps to promote safe handling and storage of chemicals and solvents.

  • The larger label surface provides better visibility for the chemical name and its attributes, including full product name, purity grade, catalog number, lot number, package size, and maximum number of impurities, as well as precautionary signal words, GHS pictograms, and a list of potential health hazards (both acute and chronic) of the product described on the label.
  • The Fisher Chemical ChemAlert™ Guide provides concise personal-protection information, including the Safety Code, NFPA Code, and a Storage Code guide. The "Date Received" space is left blank, so you can write in the date the product was received to assist in inventory control.
  • Each label contains U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) shipping information, including DOT Proper Shipping Name and UN/NA Number identifying the United Nations/North American numerical designation for transportation hazards.
  • The bar code on each label meets the Health Industry Bar Code (HIBC) Supplier Labeling Standard prepared by the HIBC Council.
