Hazard Communication Standard
- OSHA is amending the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) to align with the UN’s Globally Harmonized System (GHS) Revision 7 and address issues from the 2012 HCS update.
- The revisions aim to improve alignment with other U.S. agencies and international trading partners, enhancing the standard’s effectiveness.
- Changes include revised criteria for health and physical hazard classification, updated labeling provisions, new labeling for small containers, and trade secret provisions.
- These modifications are expected to better inform employees about chemical hazards, reducing chemical-related occupational illnesses and injuries.
