The Hazard Communication Standard requires containers to be labeled to identify the chemical they contain, the hazards they present, and what other information?

• A. Emergency contact number
• B. Name and address of the manufacturer
• C. Date of manufacture
• D. Storage requirements

Answer: (B)

Labels must include who produced or supplied the chemical—the supplier’s name and address—so you know who to contact for more information or in case of an incident. This supplier identification lets workers reach the source for safety data, handling instructions, and any follow‑up questions. The other information on HazCom labels, such as how to identify the product and the hazards (and the accompanying precautionary statements and pictograms), is essential, but knowing who to contact is the key piece that ties the container to a source for authoritative details. Date of manufacture isn’t required on the label, and storage requirements are typically addressed in the safety data sheet and precautionary statements rather than as a separate label item.
