The June 1, 2015 effective date is upon us for manufacturers and importers developing Hazard Communication Standard (HCS)-2012 compliant Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and labels.
SDS and label authoring: Our IHR Certified Industrial Hygienists (CIHs) are experienced at authoring compliant SDSs and labels and can provide this service for your business.
Training of workers: We are past the December 1, 2013 deadline to have employees trained about the format and presentation of the new labels and SDSs. Our CIHs will conduct this training for you, and tailor it to the chemicals used in your work places.
Call us to discuss how we can help you bring your SDSs and labels and training requirements into compliance with OSHA.
OSHA compliance officers will look for “reasonable diligence” and “good faith efforts” to taken to comply with HCS 2012. The OSHA Hazard Communication Standard was revised as of March 26, 2012 to be aligned with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS).
