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. This standard is among OSHA's most-cited violations, making it crucial for employers to stay informed about upcoming requirements to maintain compliance.

These updates aim to align the HazCom label requirements more closely with the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) and streamline compliance processes, with a priority on worker safety.

Join us on Thursday, September 19 at 1:30 p.m. ET. BLR’s Content Manager and Senior Editor for BLR’s Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) publications, Tim Fagan will let you know the essential elements of the new updates.

Learning objectives include:

• 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
