A review of our 2013/2014 audits showed that pipe labeling is a problem across all industries and all types of hazardous materials. Out of 39 audits, 19 had issues with pipe labeling, with the vast majority of those issues being “labeling not meeting a RAGAGEP or company standard.” During audits, it all boils down to having a code/standard/directive/procedure that we can show the facility is not complying with; however, most companies have a section in their HAZCOM program that covers the topic, although many fall short of their own internal requirements. This article provides some excellent resources for how pipe labeling can be achieved and some codes beyond OSHA that your facility may need to address.
