OSHA pictograms

The use of OSHA (GHS) Pictograms and USDOT HazMat Labels on the Same Packaging

Are the GHS-compliant pictograms required by the revised OSHA HazCom Standard allowed to be displayed on a packaging that also displays the HazMat Labels (and other markings) required by the USDOT/PHMSA?

The short answer is yes.  Though current OSHA regulations have confused the issue (more on that below) you can rest assured that a packaging regulated as hazardous by both the USDOT/PHMSA and OSHA can display both the new pictograms and the HazMat labels and markings.  To clarify this confusing situation I will present the issue from the distinct perspective of each regulatory agency.
