Hazard Communication Standard

The Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) is a regulation by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) that requires employers to inform and educate workers about hazardous chemicals in the workplace. It ensures that labels, safety data sheets, and employee training are provided, making it clear what chemicals are present, their potential risks, and how to handle them safely. The goal is to promote safety and reduce the risk of accidents and health issues related to chemical exposure by ensuring everyone understands the hazards associated with the substances they work with.
