6.3.1.1 With respect to labels and Safety Data Sheets:

 The company and our customer shall ensure that labels on incoming containers of hazardous chemicals are not removed or defaced. Labels must be on all containers including secondary containers not being used immediately.  The employees must have access to all SDSs that the customer has pertaining to the laboratory. 6.3.1.2 The following provisions apply to chemical substances developed in the laboratory:  If the composition of the chemical substance, which is produced for the laboratory’s use, is known, the customer shall determine if it is a hazardous chemical. If the chemical is determined to be hazardous, the customer shall provide adequate training on the hazards of the chemical to the company.  If the chemical produced is a byproduct whose composition is not known, the customer and the company will assume it is hazardous and provisions within the CHP will be followed.  If the chemical substance is produced for another user outside of the laboratory, the customer shall comply with the Hazard Communication Program, including the requirements for preparation of SDSs and labeling.  Contact the lab owner or manager prior to entry to determine hazards that may be present in the lab.  Determine noise extremes and get the appropriate PPE for hearing protection.  Determine temperature extremes in the lab. If engineering cannot control the temperature extremes, then control by wearing the appropriate PPE.  Be aware of ionizing radiation. Radioactive materials emit energy that can damage living tissue. There are five types of ionizing radiation: alpha, beta, x ray, gamma, and neutrons. Alpha radiation is the least penetrating/damaging and neutrons are the most penetrating/damaging. Ionizing radiation can cause internal or external body damage depending on routes of entry and level of protection. If there is ionizing radiation present do not enter the lab until it is cleared by the lab owner and testing equipment verifies that levels of radioactivity and potential exposures are at acceptable limits. Seek guidance from the customer or Corporate HSSE.  Be aware of non-ionizing radiation. This is electromagnetic radiation. It is associated with wavelength and frequency. Examples of non-ionizing radiation: power-line transmission, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultra-violet, and lasers. These examples are from the least threatening to the most threatening. 6.3.2.1 The following precautions are utilized to mitigate physical hazards:
