HAZMAT HAZARDOUS WASTE LABELS Paper ? UNIVERSAL WASTE Hazmat hazardous waste labels maintain safety by clearly labeling all hazardous waste containers. Waste labels comply with current EPA and DOT regulations. D.O.T. (49 CFR part 172) and EPA (40 CFR part 262) require labeling substance containers for hazardous waste. Labels must be durable, in contrasting colors and in English. In placement, the label may not be obscured by other labels, attachments or markings. Pressure-sensitive paper labels have an easy peel and stick backing for fast and easy application. Great for everyday permanent labels application.
