PURPOSE
The purpose of this plan is to establish a program and procedures for the safe use of hazardous chemical
substances pertaining to the service provided by COMPANY NAME; hereafter referred to as “The Company”.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) 29 CFR
1910.1200 (General Industry) and 29 CFR 1926.59 (Construction Industry) call for the development of a hazard
communication program when workers may be exposed to any chemical in the workplace under normal
conditions of use or in a foreseeable emergency. In 2012, OSHA revised the HCS to align with the Globally
Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). As a result, this program has been revised
to comply with the requirements of the OSHA HCS 2012. The written hazard communication program will
include and address the following criteria to satisfy the minimum requirements of the OSHA HCS 2012:
