In order to ensure chemical safety in the workplace, information must be available about the identities and hazards of the chemicals. OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) requires the development and dissemination of such information:
 |
Chemical manufacturers and importers are required to evaluate the hazards of the chemicals they produce or import, and
|
|
Prepare labels and material safety data sheets (MSDSs) to convey the hazard information to their downstream customers.
|
|
All employers with hazardous chemicals in their workplaces must have labels and MSDSs for their exposed workers, and train them to handle the chemicals appropriately. |
