Warning Labels

Employers must attach warning labels to all products and containers of asbestos, including waste containers and all installed asbestos products, when possible. Labels must be printed in large, bold letters on a contrasting background and used in accordance with OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR Part 1910.1200).

All labels must contain a warning statement against breathing asbestos fibers and contain the following statement: "DANGER" "CONTAINS ASBESTOS FIBERS" "AVOID CREATING DUST" and "CANCER AND LUNG DISEASE HAZARD."

Labels are not required if asbestos is present in concentrations less than 1 percent by weight. They also are not required if bonding agents, coatings, or binders have altered asbestos fibers, prohibiting the release of airborne asbestos over the PEL or STEL during reasonable use, handling, storage, disposal, processing, or transportation.

When building owners or employers identify previously installed ACM or PACM, employers must attach or post clearly noticeable and readable labels or signs to inform employees which materials contain asbestos.
