Download our new eBook to learn about OSHA's major proposed changes to the HazCom Standard, and how they might impact your business!

In February 2021, OSHA published a long-awaited notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to update its Hazard Communication Standard (HazCom) to align with Revision 7 of the UN’s Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). Many company representatives have asked us for more information about the NPRM, and for good reason, since the proposed revisions would have far-reaching impact throughout the chemical supply chain. For example, chemical manufacturers would need to reclassify certain chemicals, reauthor safety data sheets (SDSs) for those chemicals, and develop new shipped container labels. End-users would have to evaluate whether they have chemicals affected by the HazCom changes in their workplace, manage a potential wave of updated SDSs and shipped labels and update their own HazCom practices accordingly.
