Cleaning Up Your Compliance: A Guide to OSHA’s Updated Hazard Communication Standard
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has recently updated the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) to align with the Revision 7 of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). This update provides a common and coherent approach to classifying chemicals and communicating hazard information on labels and safety data sheets.
In this webinar, we will cover the key changes to the HCS, including:
- Revised criteria for classification of chemical hazards
- Revised labeling provisions that include requirements for use of standardized signal words, pictograms, hazard statements, and precautionary statements
- A specified format for safety data sheets
- Related revisions to definitions of terms used in the standard, and requirements for employee training on labels and safety data sheets
- Key Differences Between US OSHA HazCom and Canadian WHMIS
Implications
We will also discuss the implications of these changes for manufacturers and distributors of cleaning products. Understanding these changes is crucial for maintaining compliance with OSHA standards and ensuring the safety of your employees and customers.

This webinar is a must-attend for anyone in the cleaning industry, particularly those involved in the manufacturing and distribution of cleaning products. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about the new OSHA Hazard Communication Standard and how it will affect your business.
