Chemicals have become an important element of almost every aspect ofmodern life. All of these chemicals—from cleaning fluids to pharmaceuticals,pesticides, and paints—are produced in workplaces, and may be used inworkplaces downstream. While these chemicals have utility and benefits intheirapplications,theyalsohavethepotentialtocauseadverseeffects.Theseadverseeffectsincludebothhealthhazardsandphysicalhazards.

Inordertoprotectworkersfromtheseeffects—andtoreducetheoccurrenceof illnesses and injuries caused by chemicals — employers need tocommunicate to employees information about the hazards of the chemicalstheyuse,aswellas recommendedprotectivemeasures.Workershavebotharightandaneedtoknowthisinformation,especiallysothattheycantakestepstoprotectthemselveswhennecessary.

• Employeesalsoneedtoknowwhatprotectivemeasuresareavailabletopreventadverseeffectsfromoccurring.

• The HCS is designed to provide employeeswith the information theyneed.

• HCS is a ‘performance-oriented’ standard that provides guidance fordefininghazardsandforperforminghazarddeterminations.Employershave substantial leeway in deciding what protective measures theymusttaketosafeguardtheiremployees.
