Is the Tellus free GHS Label Generator OSHA compliant?

Yes — the generator follows OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) 2024 / 29 CFR 1910.1200, including the Appendix C H/P statement text and the GHS pictogram requirements. The tool runs an automated compliance check (rules R01–R26) before download. You are still responsible for verifying any generated label against the manufacturer Safety Data Sheet (SDS).

Yes. The Tellus GHS Label Generator is free with no account required. You provide an email to unlock the first PDF download. There is no payment, no subscription, and no usage limit per session.

Does it work for chemical mixtures, not just pure substances?

Yes. For mixtures, paints, adhesives, and other multi-ingredient products you skip the optional CAS lookup and enter the H-codes directly from your SDS Section 2. The tool then generates a compliant label using those H-codes.

What sizes can I print?

Three sizes today: Small (1″ × 2.625″, Avery 5160 compatible), Medium (2″ × 4″, Avery 5163 compatible), and Large (4″ × 6″ drum format). PDF page size matches the actual label size, so it prints at true physical scale on a thermal label printer or scaled to fit on a regular Letter/A4 sheet.

Can I add a QR code that links to my SDS?

Yes. The generator supports an optional QR code that resolves to any URL you provide (for example a Dropbox or Google Drive link to your SDS PDF). For SDS-aware QR codes that auto-resolve to the live SDS in your inventory and update on revisions, use a Tellus account.

Does the PDF I download contain a Tellus watermark?

A small "Powered by Tellus EHS" attribution and a "verify against SDS" reminder appear in the label footer. There is no obtrusive watermark on the body of the label.

How is this different from buying a Tellus subscription?

The free tool generates one label at a time from data you enter manually (or auto-filled by CAS lookup). A Tellus account adds: bulk label generation across your full SDS library, auto-extracted hazards from any uploaded SDS PDF, custom canvas designer for per-label edits, SDS-aware QR codes, multiple sheet layouts, and ongoing compliance monitoring.
