    July 17, 1989

    MEMORANDUM FOR: JAMES W. STANLEY, REGIONAL ADMINISTRATOR

    THROUGH: LEO CAREY, DIRECTOR, DIRECTORATE OF FIELD PROGRAM
    FROM: PATRICIA K. CLARK, ACTING DIRECTOR, DIRECTORATE OF COMPLIANCE PROGRAMS

    SUBJECT: Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) Labeling Requirements for Industrial Thermometers

    This is in response to your memo of June 6, which forwarded a memo from the Manhattan Area Office requesting an interpretation of the Hazard Communication Standard as it applies to labeling requirements for industrial thermometers.

    If industrial thermometers are expected to break during normal conditions of use, exposing employees to mercury, they are not considered articles for purposes of the HCS. Under the labeling provisions of the HCS each thermometer container would have to be labeled, tagged, or marked with the required label information.
