Which HazCom element provides warnings on containers and location-specific signage?

• A. Training & Info
• B. SDS
• C. Labeling & Warnings
• D. List of Chemicals

Answer: (C)

Labeling and warnings focus on putting clear hazard information right on each container and on signs in the work area. This is how workers see the hazard at the point of use, with the container label and any location-specific signage conveying the essential warnings, symbols, and hazard details quickly and visibly.

SDSs provide detailed hazard information and protective measures, but they are separate documents kept accessible, not the warnings on the container or area signage. Training & information covers how to read labels and SDS and understand hazards, but it doesn’t itself place the warnings on containers or signage. A list of chemicals is simply an inventory and does not convey specific hazard warnings or notices. Therefore, the element that provides warnings on containers and location-specific signage is labeling and warnings.
