Never place any disinfectant or other product in what type of container?

• A. Unmarked container
• B. Labeled container
• C. Glass bottle
• D. Sealed bag

Answer: (A)

Always keep disinfectants and other chemicals in clearly identified containers. If you put a product into an unmarked container, you can’t tell what it is, what strength it is, or how long it needs to stay in contact. That uncertainty leads to misapplication, incorrect dilutions, spills, and accidental exposure, which can cause skin or eye irritation, chemical burns, or ineffective disinfection. The safety practice is to keep products in their original labeled containers, or in any transfer container that is clearly labeled with the product name, dilution or usage instructions, and hazard warnings. If you do transfer contents to another container, labeling is essential to avoid dangerous mistakes.
