Hazard labeling for storage containers and refrigerators that hold regulated infectious waste must include which label?

• A. Biohazard orange label
• B. Green label
• C. Blue label
• D. Yellow label

Answer: (A)

Hazard labeling for infectious waste uses the biohazard symbol on an orange label so anyone handling the container immediately recognizes the biological risk and applies proper precautions. The orange biohazard label is the standard signal to segregate, use appropriate PPE, and dispose of the waste through approved medical waste channels. Other colors don’t convey the specific biohazard warning required for regulated infectious waste in this setting.
