OSHA Revises Right-to-know Hazard Communication Standard | Practical Law
The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) issued a final rule revising its Hazard Communication Standard (HCS), which governs chemical labeling and employee training for hazardous chemical use in the workplace. The revisions adopt the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), which was developed by the United Nations and creates a uniform international classification and labeling system for hazardous chemicals.
