A long-awaited revision to a U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) rule will be published 20 May 2024, 3E has learned. 3E will provide additional reporting and analysis on the new Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) as more information becomes available.

OSHA’s HCS has been updated to align with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS), Revision 7.

The updated HCS provisions will become effective 60 days after the date of publication of the final rule.

“The hotly contested change to require that hazards associated with a change in physical form and result of chemical reactions as requiring classification was retained in the final rule,” said Terry Wells, 3E’s Senior Manager of Regulatory Research for North America. “This was a point of contention with some in industry saying there was not enough guidance and it departs from GHS requirements.”
