I am unclear. Does OSHA require target organ information on RTK labels?
Let’s look at the excerpt from February 9, 1994 letter from H. Zettler, OSHA Compliance Programs, Deputy Director, as follows: “As you know the HCS requires that a chemical shipping label must contain the identity of the chemical, an appropriate hazard warning, and the name and address of the responsible party. The agency’s position stated in the current compliance directive (CPL 2-2.38C) is: “Precautionary statements such as “caution”, “danger” or “harmful if inhaled” are not hazard warnings. The definition of hazard warning states that the hazard warning must be included on the label and must specifically convey the hazards of the chemical. OSHA has consistently maintained that this includes target organ effects.” To see the letter in it’s entirety, click here: http://www.osha-slc.gov/OshDoc/Interp_data/I19940209.
