5.0 NOTES / INTERFACES

5.1 All operations personnel who will come in contact with toxic chemicals must check for
proper labeling.

 If in the original container – name of the compound in the container,

manufacturer’s name and address or second party manufacturer / packer /
distributor, appropriate approvals (FDA) and instructions for proper use.

 If in the working container – name of the compound in the container, instructions

 for proper use.

If the toxic chemicals upon delivery are improperly labeled, set aside and return supplies
to the supplier in a timely manner. On the other hand, if the working container is
improperly labeled, replace with proper labels immediately but if working container is
inappropriate or damaged, destroy or discard container immediately.

Containers for waste, by-products and inedible or dangerous substances, should be

specifically identifiable, suitably constructed and, where appropriate, made of impervious
material. Containers used to hold dangerous substances should be identified and, where
appropriate, be lockable to prevent malicious or accidental contamination of food.

5.2 All operations personnel who will come in contact with toxic chemicals must check for
proper storage.

 Place in an area with limited access – under lock and key, given only to
