OSHA HCS (Hazard Communication Standard)

The OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) is a regulation that aims to ensure that workers are informed about the hazards of chemicals they may encounter in the workplace. It requires employers to provide safety data sheets for hazardous substances, label containers clearly, and train employees on proper handling and safety measures. The goal is to improve safety, reduce workplace injuries, and keep workers informed about potential risks associated with chemical exposure, ultimately fostering a safer working environment.
