Except as provided in paragraphs (f)(7) and (f)(8) of this section, the employer shall ensure that each container of hazardous chemicals in the workplace is labeled, tagged or marked with either: (i) The information specified under paragraphs (f)(1)(i) through (v) of this section for labels on shipped containers; or, (ii) Product identifier and words, pictures, symbols, or combination thereof, which provide at least general information regarding the hazards of the chemicals, and which, in conjunction with the other information immediately available to employees under the hazard communication program, will provide employees with the specific information regarding the physical and health hazards of the hazardous chemical. a. On or about March 08, 2018, in the Mixing area of the Mill Room, employees were exposed to an approximately 30 gallon barrel of Methyl Zimate that was not appropriately labeled to warn employees of the hazardous nature of the drum's contents. THE HMIS label was not legible and did not convey the level 4 (extreme) health hazards of Methyl Zimate. b.
