Formatting Safety Data Sheets

摘要

The Hazard Communication Standard (1910. 1200) is commonly called the "right-to-know" standard because it states that employees have a need and a right to know about the chemicals they encounter in the workplace. In March, OSHA revised this standard to align with the United Nations' Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals, also known as GHS. GHS': presents a worldwide, standardized approach to hazard communication by defining requirements for chemical classification and labeling. In addition, GHS prescribes a consistent format for Safety Data Sheets, previously called Material Safety Data Sheets.
