Wrong Bottle Proves Deadly for Worker » SafetySmart
Two workers drink from a bottle labelled as beer, but actually it is a wind shield washer fluid containing methanol. One worker who consumed good amount died whereas the other survived.
Wrong labelling in this case caused death. In some incidents, reagent bottles after use are reused for storing chemicals. If the bottle after use is not emptied and washed thoroughly before reuse, pouring some other chemical may lead to runaway reactions / explosions, etc and can injure the workers. Proper labelling is a requirement under various legislations and compliance will only help us.
