Because this information is critical to the safe handling and transporting of these hazardous substances - several organizations have developed labeling and placarding systems.

ALWAYS READY'S online training course "Hazardous Materials Labels" is designed to address labeling layout in general-how to prepare warning labels for hazardous chemicals-and the distinctive features of each labeling system.

By knowing the differences between labeling systems, employees will be less likely to misread any label's data - and be far better prepared to work safely around hazardous materials. Areas covered in this course include:

. OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard.

. Types of containers requiring labels.

. Information required on labels.

. Department of Transportation (DOT) Hazardous Material Classifications.

. DOT label and placard requirements.

. The Hazardous Materials Identification System (HMIS).

. The National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA) Labeling System.

. And More.
