Free webinar: The latest updates to the HazCom standard

Available: On-demand Webinar

OSHA recently made updates to the Hazard Communication (HazCom) standard. The final rule was published on May 20, 2024, and became effective on July 19, 2024. OSHA’s Hazard Communication standard remains one of the agencies’  most-cited violations, making it even more critical for employers to stay informed about upcoming requirements and deadlines to maintain compliance.

Updates to the standard seek to align the HazCom label requirements more closely with the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) and streamline compliance processes, prioritizing worker health and safety.

BLR’s Content Manager and Senior Editor for BLR’s Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) publications, Tim Fagan dives into the essential elements of the new updates. After watching, you should feel confident in:

• Chemical hazard classification, including new and updated physical and health hazard criteria
• Correct chemical labeling for hazardous containers
• Determining the appropriate employee training needs
• Ensuring the proper maintenance and availability of safety data sheets (SDS), and recognize any new information included in the SDS
• Developing a compliant HazCom plan
