Understanding how to label biohazards.

Every employee needs to be warned of the potential danger in handling biohazards. Without labels and color-coded bags and containers, our early warning system is defeated. We can significantly reduce the dangers to employees by using this warning system. Additionally, we should be aware of the appropriateness of bags, containers, storage units and other protective covers to ensure they fully protect employees from exposure to the contents, as well as meeting OSHA criteria.
