This instructional workplace poster aligns with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) and Globally Harmonized System (GHS) to provide safety information to workers who may be exposed to hazardous materials.
This instructional workplace poster helps to classify and communicate workplace hazard information. Adopted by the United Nations in 2003, this framework provides a common and more coherent approach for labels and safety data sheets.
Each quadrant of our HAZCOM with GHS Poster communicates essential workplace safety information specific to exposure to hazardous materials:
- First quadrant: Features Hazard Communication Standard pictograms that must appear on labels to alert users to the hazards they may be exposed to on the job. Each pictogram includes an image and a description of one or more chemical hazards that can cause bodily harm or even a fatality.
- Second quadrant: The Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) quadrant describes how the HCS requires chemical manufacturers, distributors and importers to provide SDSs in a uniform format to communicate to employees the dangers of hazardous chemical products. The quadrant shows the required format for these sheets, including section numbers, headings and associated information.
- Third quadrant: Depicts a sample HCS label and full descriptions of all the elements that must appear on a hazardous chemical label, such as a signal word, one or more hazard statements and a pictogram.
- Fourth quadrant: Outlines six steps to implementing an effective Hazard Communication program and provides a breakdown of the essential tasks associated with each step. These include becoming familiar with the provisions of the HCS, maintaining Safety Data Sheets and evaluating and reassessing the program over time.
Who Must Post?
According to OSHA, all businesses that manufacture or distribute products containing hazardous chemicals must post safety data sheets to inform exposed workers and provide visual reminders of safety training.
