In general, the Hazard Communication Standard works like this:
- Chemical Manufacturers/Importers determine the hazards of each product
- Chemical Manufacturers/Importers/Distributors communicate the hazard information and
associated measures downstream to customers through labels and MSDSs
- Employers:
- Identify and list hazardous chemicals in their workplaces
- Obtain MSDSs and labels for each hazardous chemical
- Develop and implement a written hazard communication program,
including labels, MSDSs, and employee training, based on the list of chemicals, MSDSs, and
label information
- Communicate hazard information to their employees through
labels, MSDSs, and formal training programs.
