Nuacht & Preas

Over the last three years, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has proposed an update to the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS). This standard gives workers the right to know and understand what type of hazardous chemicals they handle throughout the workplace. The proposed rule change includes the HCS conforming to a more recent revision of the United Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). This update can impact chemical labels, Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and employee training and awareness of said changes. OSHA sent the final HCS rule change to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and it cleared OMB in early April. Be on the lookout for the published rule within the next few weeks.

Tá athruithe rialála a bhfuiltear ag súil leo go mór ar an bhfód! Sheol OSHA an riail deiridh HCS chuig an Oifig Bainistíochta agus Buiséid (OMB)1 ar 12 Deireadh Fómhair, 2023. Tá CHEMTREC anseo chun léargas cuimsitheach a sholáthar ar cad a chiallaíonn sé seo agus cé na daoine a bhféadfadh tionchar a bheith orthu!
