Hazard Communication Standard
Distribution date: 10 October 2024 | Final date for Comment: 20 April 2025
OSHA is correcting several inadvertent errors in its Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) which were published in the Federal Register on 20 May 2024 (notified as G/TBT/N/USA/1697/Add.4). The agency has identified several errors in the regulatory text and appendices to the HCS which pertain to the classification of hazardous chemicals and information presented on labels and Safety Data Sheets (SDSs). The agency believes these errors, although minor and primarily typographical in nature, should be addressed expeditiously to avoid confusion or unnecessary costs in the regulated community due to incorporation of errors on labels and SDSs. OSHA is continuing its review of the regulatory text and will issue another correction document to address additional minor errors at a later date. 9 October 2024 89 Federal Register (FR) 81829, Title 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 1910:https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-10-09/html/2024-23144.htmhttps://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-10-09/pdf/2024-23144.pdf This final rule; correction and technical amendment and previous actions notified under the symbol G/TBT/N/USA/1697 are identified by Docket Number OSHA-2019-0001. The Docket Folder is available on Regulations.gov at https://www.regulations.gov/docket/OSHA-2019-0001/document and provides access to primary and supporting documents as well as comments received.
