The Hazard Communication Standard, or HCS, also sometimes known as HAZCOM – is an information and training standard for the use of hazardous chemicals in the workplace, designed to reduce the incidence of chemically related injuries and illnesses. The Hazard Communication Standard is now aligned with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals or GHS. This update to HCS will provide a common approach to classifying chemicals and communicating hazard information on labels and safety data sheets. OSHA's Chemical Hazard Communication Standard is based on a simple concept that employees have both a need and a right to know the hazards and identities of the chemicals they are exposed to while working. This HAZCOM Standard is known as OSHA's Worker Right to Know Standard and is designed to provide you with the information you need to work safely.
