According to labeling regulations, what should be done if a label is removed or defaced?

When a label is removed or defaced, it is essential for employers to replace the label immediately to ensure that the contents of the container are clearly identified. This is critical for maintaining safety and compliance with Hazard Communication regulations, as labels provide vital information about the hazards associated with the materials contained within. Without proper labeling, workers may be unaware of the risks associated with the substance, leading to potential accidents or improper handling of hazardous materials. Maintaining clear and accurate labeling helps ensure a safe workplace and adheres to legal requirements for hazard communication.
