Dear Mr Hamer

Thank you for contacting us regarding the labeling requirement for containers of chemicals. The standard 1910.1200(f)(5) requires that all containers be labeled which would include buckets of windshield washing solution that would be used by employees in a gas station environment. The identity of the material in the container would need to be sufficiently identified on the label sothat employees could use the information on the label to locate the Material Safety Data Sheet. If a container of liquid is mixed and used completely by a single individual, than labeling of the secondary container is not required.

For further information contact Bob Thiessen at 378-3272. You are also invited to see the OR-OSHA pages on the Internet at www.cbs.state.or.us/external/osha/index.html https://osha.oregon.gov.

Sincerely,

Marilyn K. Schuster, Manager
Standards & Technical Resources Section
