What Does HCS Stand For?
HCS stands for Hazard Communication Standard
The Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) is a regulatory framework established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) designed to ensure that information about the hazards of chemical substances is effectively communicated to workers. The HCS mandates that manufacturers and importers evaluate the hazards of the chemicals they produce and provide appropriate labeling, safety data sheets, and employee training to promote safe handling and use of hazardous materials in the workplace. Through consistent communication of chemical hazards, the HCS aims to enhance workplace safety and health.
