OSHA Hazard Communication Standard

The OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) is a regulation that ensures employees know about chemical hazards in the workplace. It requires employers to label chemicals, provide safety data sheets, and train workers on proper handling and risks. The goal is to help workers understand potential dangers and take safe precautions, reducing accidents and illnesses related to chemical exposure. Essentially, it promotes clear communication about chemical hazards to protect worker health and safety.
