What Are the Key Changes to the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) In 2024

The 2024 changes to the HCS improve the information on the labels and safety data sheets for hazardous chemicals. The final rule will also improve alignment with other federal agencies and Canada.
The changes include:
• Revised criteria for the classification of specific health and physical hazards
• Revised requirements for some labels
• Minor changes to the content of Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and
• New requirements relating to the chemical concentrations that can be claimed as trade secrets.

What Do I Have to Do as an Employer or Worker to Meet the New HCS Requirements?

Safety data sheets and labels for some chemicals will change slightly. Companies that use hazardous chemicals should ensure they get the latest safety data sheets from their suppliers.

Suppose your company produces chemicals or formulates chemical mixtures for sale. In that case, you must examine the amendments to the Hazard Communication Standard and make the appropriate changes in classification, labels and safety data sheets.

Will Hazard Communication Training requirements Change?

The 2024 changes are at a level of detail above what most companies and workers need to know. Presently we don’t see the need to change the current training program. The current program meets all the legal requirements for worker education. If anything changes we will update the training accordingly.
