Overview:  

The Cal-OSHA Hazard Communication Standard is the result of state and federal government requirements of employers to provide workers with information about the potential hazards of chemicals used in the workplace. The goal is to encourage safe work practices by employers and employees by making hazard information available from suppliers to users in a condensed and easily understood format. This goal is enhanced by requiring employers to train their workers to assure that they understand chemical hazards and how they can be handled safely.
