A cleaning chemical has been poured into an unlabeled drink bottle. What is the problem and correct action?
- A.It is fine as long as the bottle is kept on a high shelf
- B.It is acceptable if only staff know what is inside it
- C.It is safe if the bottle is a different color than usual
- D.Unlabeled chemicals are dangerous; report it and never use or store chemicals this way
Correct answer
D. Unlabeled chemicals are dangerous; report it and never use or store chemicals this way
Why
Chemicals must stay in labeled containers; an unlabeled drink bottle invites accidental poisoning. Memory, shelf height, and bottle color do not replace a proper label.
