2. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), U.S. Department of Labor. Hazard Communication Standard. 29 CFR 1910.1200(a)(1). "The purpose of this section is to ensure that the hazards of all chemicals produced or imported are classified, and that information concerning the classified hazards is transmitted to employers and employees. The transmittal of information is to be accomplished by means of comprehensive hazard communication programs, which are to include container labeling and other forms of warning, safety data sheets and employee training." The standard is explicitly aligned with the GHS.
