Using Abbreviations should be dependent
on several items, including hazard levels, and the amount of chemical.
For example, a small container with non hazardous chemicals used
in a small laboratory could have an abbreviation. If there is a
gallon, or 55 gallons of the same chemical the container should have a
full label.
teaching abbreviations in school
seems to undermine the information given from the full chemical
name.

formulas: NaCN, KCN, Ca2Cn2, etc, I won't argue: use
abbreviations that might kill somebody, BAD idea.
Whoever
has to walk into a HAZMAT incident doesn't have time to look for a bunch
of abbreviations. Lives may be on the line. The AHLS
Course stresses some of that. Those who have not worn Level A or
Level B might consider that others have and will continue to due
so. Bad labels, some of us might be invoked, whether needed or
not.
