Label responsible party

Verify that labels contain the name and address of the responsible party such as manufacturer, distributor, or importer. 

Section 1, Identification The identity used on the label, except trade secrets recommended use of the chemical and restrictions on use and contact information for the manufacturer, importer, or other responsible party. 

C.1.1 The labels on shipped containers shall also include the name, address, and telephone number of the chemical manufacturer, importer, or responsible party. 

C.2.4.7 In most cases, the precautionary statements are independent (e.g., the phrases for explosive hazards do not modify those related to certain health hazards, and products that are classified for both hazard classes shall bear appropriate precautionary statements for both). Where a chemical is classified for a number of hazards, and the precautionary statements are similar, the most stringent shall be included on the label (this will be applicable mainly to preventive measures). An order of precedence may be imposed by the chemical manufacturer, importer or responsible party in situations where phrases concern Response. Rapid action may be crucial. For example, if a chemical is carcinogenic and acutely toxic, rapid action may be crucial, and first aid measures for acute toxicity will take precedence over those for long-term effects. In addition, medical attention to delayed health effects may be required in cases of incidental exposure, even if not associated with immediate symptoms of intoxication. 

Labels list at least the chemical identity, appropriate hazard warnings, and the name and address of the manufacturer, importer or other responsible party. The chemical identity is found on the label, the SDS, and the chemical inventory. Therefore, the chemical identity links these three sources of information. The chemical identity used by the supplier may be a common or trade name, or a chemical name. The hazard warning is a brief statement of the hazardous effects of the chemical (i.e., flammable, or causes lung damage ). 

If a container is not labeled, obtain a label or the label information from the manufacturer, importer, or other responsible party or prepare a label using information obtained from these sources. Employers are responsible for ensuring that containers in the workplace are labeled, tagged, or marked. 

In-plant containers of hazardous chemicals must be labeled, tagged, or marked with the identity of the material and appropriate hazard warnings. Chemical manufacturers, importers, aud distributors are required to ensure that every container of hazardons chanicals they ship is appropriately labeled with such information and with the name and address of the producer or other responsible party. Employers purchasing chemicals can rely on the labels provided by their suppliers. If the material is subsequently transferred by the employer from a labeled container to another container, the employer will have to label that container nnless it is snbject to the portable container exemption. See paragraph (f) for specific labeling reqnirements. 

Responsibility for the safe transportation of chemicals rests with the chemical producers and their workforce, any haulier used and, to some extent, the customer (e.g. during offloading), as summarized in Figure 12.2. Effective communication is crucial between all relevant parties. Various regulations, codes of practice and guidelines cover the labelling of containers and vehicles to identify the substances and their hazards in an emergency. 

A manufacturer is defined as the natural or legal person with responsibility for the design, manufacture, packaging and labelling of a device before it is placed on the EU market under that manufacturer s own name, regardless of whether these operations are carried out by that manufacturer or on their behalf by a third party. The Directives also apply to those who assemble, package, process, fully refurbish or label a product and in certain other situations. 

Having read the theory, subjects responded to six questions. The first four questions assessed the conditional probabilities hypothesized in part to motivate the vote (1) if you vote, how likely is it that the other supporters of Party A will vote in larger numbers than the supporters of Party B (2) If you abstain, how likely is it that the other supporters of Party A will vote in larger numbers than the supporters of Party B (3) If you vote, how likely is it that Party A will defeat Party B And (4), if you abstain, how likely is it that Party A will defeat Party B Responses were made on 9-point scales labelled in the middle and at the endpoints. On a similar scale, subjects were asked, How likely are you to vote if the theory were true and voting in Delta were costly and, finally, subjects checked yes or no to the question, Would you vote if the theory were true and voting in Delta were costly ... 

The Regulation requires that the control bodies in each member state allocate each of the certification bodies a unique code which must appear on the product labelling of all the operators registered with them. This is to permit any interested party anywhere in the world to trace the certification body responsible for the certification of the product, and the code should always be applied by an operator to the organic products leaving their premises. In the UK, UKROFS has designated the codes Organic Certification UK1 to UK9 to the certification bodies under its jurisdiction. 

Where a plant operator is producing beef that is labelled organic , under the Beef Labelling Scheme which came into force on 1 July 1998 and became compulsory on 1 January 2000 (in the UK but not the rest of Europe ), the operator is responsible for traceability and for the validity of all labelling claims, and will be audited by a third party to verify historical records and management systems to ensure they are robust enough to validate the claims made.
