Description:
This PowerPoint talks about:
- Changes to the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS)
are bringing the US into alignment with the Globally
Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of
Chemicals (GHS)
- The new HCS still requires manufacturers and importers
to evaluate the chemicals they produce/import and
provide hazard information to employers and workers via
labels and safety data sheets.
- The modified standard provides a set of harmonized
criteria for classifying chemicals and specifies elements
for labeling and safety data sheets.
