One of the most frequently cited regulations in
the workplace centers on chemicals in our places of employment. The Hazard
Communication Standard (HCS) is now aligned with the Globally Harmonized System
of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) with 4 effective dates for
compliance phased in over a 4 year period.
December 2013 provisions include employees are trained on label element
and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) format. Check with your Safety or
Engineering department to see if your workplace is compliant.
