HMIS® labels are not labels in the usual sense of the term but are tools for Hazcom compliance. OSHA requires manufacturers to label products both in-plant and on products shipped outside the plant. The Department of Transportation (DOT) also imposes certain labeling requirements on shipped products. HMIS® labels are designed for use in-plant by employees who are trained on the system and are not intended for use as shipping or product labels (although under certain conditions they might be included on a shipping or product label if all requirements are otherwise met).
