OSHA: Chemical Hazard Communication Standards

U.S. Department of Labor

The Hazard Communication Standard establishes uniform requirements to make sure that the hazards of all chemicals imported into, produced, or used in U.S. workplaces are evaluated, and that this hazard information is transmitted to affected employers and exposed employees.

Employers and employees covered by an OSHA-approved state safety and health plan should check with their state agency, which may be enforcing standards and other procedures “at least as effective as,” but not always identical to, federal requirements. See also pages 13 and 18 of this publication for more information on state plans.
