Employees who handle toxic materials, whether on construction sites, tank barges or in hospitality settings, must understand the risks involved. OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard, together with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS), is designed to improve workplace safety by requiring employers to adhere to certain common safety guidelines. The HazCom Standard and the GHS ensure consistency in labeling, storing, cleaning and transporting potentially dangerous chemicals.
