LEGISLATION RELATED TO CTEOSHA Hazard Communication Standard (HCS), 29FR 1910.1200

"Exposure to hazardous chemicals is one of the most serious threats facing American workers today," said U.S. Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis. "Revising OSHA's Hazard Communication standard will improve the quality and consistency of hazard information, making it safer for workers to do their jobs and easier for employers to stay competitive.“ --Dr. David Michaels

• The HCS is now aligned with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS).

• This update to the HCS will provide a common and coherent approach to classifying chemicals and communicating hazard information on labels and safety data sheets.

• HCS will improve the quality and consistency of hazard information in the workplace, making it safer for workers by providing easily understandable information on appropriate handling and safe use of hazardous chemicals.
