Whether you work in an industrial facility, such as those above, a hospital, construction site or office building, hazcom labeling is critically important. Chemical hazards must be identified and properly labeled.
Making
HazCom Labels
When dealing with hazardous
materials, not only is proper labeling important, but having clear, easily
to read, durable labels is critical. This is when you need to have an
industrial quality labeling machine.
But, you need more than just any label maker. An industrial labeling machine should
use quality, durable supplies and have the ability
to print the correct size labels using the appropriate symbology.
Two
of the labeling machines we recommend for hazardous material labeling
are the Duralabel 4TTP and Brady Globalmark. Both use a wide variety
of supplies allowing you to handle most hazcom labeling requirements.
The
DuraLabel 4 labeler uses your computer
to design and store labels and signs. You'll get high quality, durable labels
from this economical thermal transfer label printer. |

The
Brady Globalmark is a stand-alone desktop
label and sign printer featuring fast label design using advanced
touch-screen technology. |
Other
labeling machines that are excellent for hazardous material labeling
and warning signs are the Kroy 5100 (handheld label printer) and K-Sun
9600Ki (desktop/portable labeler).

Global Harmization of Chemical Labeling (PDF) - The Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals is a system for standardizing and harmonizing the classification and labeling of chemicals. It is a logical and comprehensive approach to defining health, physical and environmental hazards of chemicals; creating classification processes that use available data on chemicals for comparison with the defined hazard criteria; and communicating hazard information, as well as protective measures, on labels and Safety Data Sheets (SDS).
