2. Workplace Label - This will be created by someone in the workplace.  There is a minimum amount of WHMIS / GHS information that MUST be on it.  
3. Other Labels (at workplace) - These are labels or markings specific to that (your) workplace only.

2015 WHMIS/ GHS WORKPLACE LABEL EXAMPLE (BELOW)

This is an example of the three pieces of information that must be on a workplace container that may be used for more than one shift.  The contents of the container would have been taken from another, larger, bulk type of container also on the work site.  (example: 45 gal. / 205 liter drum of cleaning solvent)

Below is an example of OTHER MEANS OF IDENTIFICATION / LABELING

These coloured "bars" represent pipes or ductwork that a worker may see in their place of employment.  The actual colours may be ANY colour the company wishes to use, however, those colours MUST be standard for the complete workplace. The ductwork may or may not have actual words written on them - maybe just the colour coding.  Arrows are helpful too.
