An OSHA Requirement
By Staff Reporters
The Hazard Communication Standard
The OSHA Hazard Communication Standard requires proper labeling of all chemicals present in the workplace. Labels are usually provided on chemicals that are found in a healthcare practice, but when a substance is transferred from its original container to a different container, a label must be affixed to the secondary container to inform any employee who uses it of the contents and their potential risks.
Assessment
The Standard also requires education for employees regarding any chemical present in the workplace to which they may be exposed under normal conditions of use or in a foreseeable emergency.
