HCS (Hazard Communication Standard)

The Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) is a set of regulations designed to ensure that workers are informed about the hazards of chemicals they may encounter in the workplace. It requires employers to provide information through labels, safety data sheets, and training. The goal is to communicate potential dangers, such as toxicity or flammability, so that employees can handle chemicals safely. By following HCS guidelines, workplaces promote safety and help prevent accidents or health issues related to chemical exposure. Overall, it’s about keeping everyone informed and safe when working with hazardous materials.
