A. The employer did not ensure that containers of hazardous checmicals used in the lab were labeled, tagged or marked with the following information: Identity of the hazardous chemical(s) contained therein; and, Appropriate hazard warnings, or alternatively, words, pictures, symbols, or combination thereof, which provide at least general information regarding the hazards of the chemicals. This violation was identified during inspections of the facility from November 2009 to March 2010, Silver Eagle Refining Inc., 2355 South 1100 West, Woods Cross, UT, 84087. Multiple glass bottles were located in the lab building that were not marked with identity of the hazardous chemical(s) contained therein and appropriate hazard warnings. Chemicals including, but not limited to, "Doctor Solution" were marked with only a tag showing the contents. No interaction warnings or other appropriate hazard warnings were identified. By not fully labeling containers and identifying hazards, employees may accidentally mix chemicals creating a reaction, exposing employees to serious injury or death. This may be a system-wide occurrence that requires evaluation of all stored chemicals and labels throughout the facility.
