What are the major changes to the Hazard Communication Standard?

The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) was one of the main changes to the Hazard Communications Standard (HCS). The goal of this alignment was to make a standard way to classify and talk about chemical hazards around the world. The main changes included revised standardized labels, Safety Data Sheets (SDS) format, as well as hazard classification criteria. Under the Hazard Communications Standard, employees are responsible for reading and understanding safety data sheets (SDS) for dangerous chemicals in their workplace.
