Safe Handling & Compliance Basics

Labeling, storage, and transport best practices to keep operations audit-ready.


Labeling & Documentation

  • GHS Labels: Pictograms, signal words, H/P statements clearly visible.
  • Traceability: Lot/batch IDs from goods-in to consumption.
  • SDS: Current versions accessible at points of use.

Packaging & Storage

  • Use compatible containers (HDPE, SS, lined drums as specified).
  • Segregate acids/bases/oxidizers; provide secondary containment.
  • Control temperature/ventilation; monitor inhibitors where applicable.

Transport

  • Classify via UN numbers; respect ADR/IMDG/ICAO/IATA rules.
  • Secure loads; carry MSDS/TREM as required.
  • Train drivers for spill response and emergency comms.

Audit-Ready Checklist

  1. Up-to-date SDS + training records.
  2. Labeled storage with segregation and spill kits.
  3. Documented inspections, CAPA logs, and change control.
