Alcohol and Acetone Traceability Requirement

#1
We are a aerospace manufacturing company and we had a 2nd party audit where the auditor recommended that we label our squeege bottles that contain alcohol and acetone with a label. The content of this label should be: Material description and Certification number.

Is this even value added? The alcohol and acetone we used does not go into product. it is part of our process to use. We consider it expendable material needed for our process realization.

How would one approach this? Is it worth even investing time on labeling all of our squeeg bottles. There is no customer requirement procedure that states this requirement. Please advise.

Thanks

Re: Alcohol and Acetone traceability

If you haven't got them labeled you're in violation of 8CCR5194 of CalOSHA (equivalent to 29CFR 1910.120 of Fed OSHA), if you are aware of it and don't fix the problem you could be cited for "willful and negligent". The label must indicate "material & hazard"

You have now been made aware

I became a health & safety professional in California and subject to CalOSHA over 20 years ago, the value is complying with the law

Re: Alcohol and Acetone traceability

Our bottles are idenfied to meet OSHA requirements.

But the auditor suggested we also label them with traceability information to the certificate of conformance. I have yet to see alcohol come in with a Cert. It arrives on dock only a packing slip. Thanks

Conformance to what?

If it's to 14001 or 18001 he's full of hot air, there's is no such requirement in any of those documents.

Now if he's your customer and it's some kind of contracted requirement then that's something different altogether

Suggested and recommended only. Ask him for the requirement; there isn't one.

Yes, that is correct. She only suggested and recommended. We could not find a specifc requirement. Thanks to all for your help.
