  New Labeling Requirements by OSHA:  The revised Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) provides more structured requirements for the labeling of chemicals. The revised standard requires that information about chemical hazards be communicated on labels using quick visual notations to alert the worker, providing immediate recognition of the hazards. Labels must also inform workers on the proper handling of the chemical and protective measures. OSHA Definition OSHA defines labels as “an appropriate group of written, printed or graphic informational elements concerning a hazardous chemical that are affixed to, printed on, or attached to the immediate container of a hazardous chemical, or to the outside packaging”. The purpose of a label is to identify the contents of the material and inform the worker of the potential hazards and related safety information of the specific chemical. Accidents and fatalities have occurred when containers have not been labeled or incorrectly labeled. For examp
