§ 41-07 Labeling Requirements.
RCNY § 41-07
(a)A responsible party shall ensure that each container of hazardous substance(s) at the facility is labeled, tagged or marked with the following information: (1) Chemical name or other name used in the Hazardous Substance List; and (2) Chemical Abstracts Service Registry number.
(b)A responsible party shall ensure that labels or other forms of warning are legible, in English, and prominently displayed on the container, or readily available in the work area throughout each work shift. Employers having employees who speak other languages may add the information in other languages as long as the information is also presented in English.
(c)A responsible party may use signs, placards, process sheets, batch tickets, operating procedures, or other such written materials instead of attaching labels to individual containers, as long as the alternative method identifies the containers to which it is applicable and conveys the information required by Subdivision (a) of this section. The written materials must be readily accessible to the employees in their work area throughout each work shift.
(d)A responsible party is not required to label portable containers into which hazardous chemicals are transferred from labeled containers if the portable container will only be used by the employee who performs the transfer. The employee shall not abandon control of any unlabeled portable container in which any hazardous chemical remains.
(e)A responsible party need not affix new labels to comply with this section if existing labels already convey the required information. (Amended City Record 1/5/2018, eff. 2/4/2018)
