The U.S. Department of Labor\u2019s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has issued a final rule to update the agency\u2019s Hazard Communication Standard (HCS). On May 20, 2024, OSHA created the final rule, which will take effect on July 19, 2024. According to OSHA&#8217;s Proposed Rulemaking to Amend the Hazard Communication Standard, these changes will increase awareness about health and safety and intend to reduce incidents related to hazards in the workplace.<\/p>\n<p>The last update, which took place in 2012 when OSHA integrated with the United Nations version of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), was based on version 3. With the amendment, OSHA will be aligned with version 7. This alignment will introduce many revisions to the regulations when compared to that of the older version. These revisions include changes to classification criteria, small containers, specifically fold out tags, rules, and exemptions that apply to container sizes such as 100 mL and 3 mL, trade secrets, technical amendments to safety data sheets (SDSs), and to definitions. A side-by-side comparison of the old regulations compared to the new regulations can be found here. These new changes will require updated training for all stakeholders as well as updating all existing SDS to comply with the new regulations.<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">As of May 20, 2024, all organizations can comply with either the new current standard or continue to use the old standard based on 29 CFR 1910.1200.\u00a0 A transitional period has been outlined in the final rule stating the following based on substances and mixtures and who is responsible for these changes with a designated timeline of completion.<\/span><span
