CHEMICAL HAZARD COMMUNICATION SUMMARY |
. | |||
Introduction |
||||||
|
Chemical manufacturers and importers must convey the hazard information they
learn from their evaluations to downstream employers by means of labels on containers and material safety
data sheets (MSDSs). In addition, all covered employers must have a hazard
communication program to get this information to their employees through labels on
containers, MSDSs, and training. OSHA has developed a variety of materials and publications to help employers and employees develop and implement effective hazard communication programs. Before explaining the details of various parts of the Hazard Communication Standard, a brief overview of the standard design may be helpful. The Hazard Communication Standard, is different from other OSHA health rules as it covers all hazardous chemicals. |
