Update to be published and available soon, once revisions are completed based on the 5/20/2024 OSHA HazCom final rule. While the rule takes effect 7/19/2024, the compliance dates don’t begin kicking in until 1/19/2026 per 29 CFR 1910.1200(j).

Hazardous chemicals are needed to help manufacture many of the products we use on a daily basis. In fact, one out of every four workers in the U.S. comes into contact with hazardous chemicals while on-the-job.

The potential for accidents, incidents, and injuries is always present when people work with, or are in the vicinity of, hazardous chemicals. But, by knowing and understanding the basic nature of those chemicals and how to safely work with or around them, people can greatly decrease any risk that might be present.
