Новини на горизонті: Оновлення змін правил HCS OSHA

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 this week. Be on the lookout for the published rule within the next few weeks.

To keep you informed and provide an understanding of what's expected to come, we have prepared a докладна публікація в блозі that covers the background, factors influencing the rulemaking decision, and what this update means for those who may be affected.

We understand the importance of staying up to date with regulatory changes; once the final rule is released, we will notify you with the latest information.

Thank you for your continued interest in chemical safety regulations, and we look forward to keeping you informed.
