What does OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard primarily address?

  1. Workplace safety evaluations

  2. Hazardous chemicals and associated protective measures

  3. Personal protective equipment standards

  4. Emergency response procedures

The correct answer is: Hazardous chemicals and associated protective measures

The Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) primarily addresses the need for employers to inform and train their employees about the hazardous chemicals they may be exposed to in the workplace. This standard requires that all hazardous chemicals are properly labeled and that safety data sheets (SDS) are made available to employees. It emphasizes providing clear and adequate information about the identity and hazards of chemicals, as well as the protective measures employees should take to minimize exposure. This standard aims to ensure that workers understand the risks associated with hazardous chemicals and are knowledgeable about the proper safety protocols and equipment necessary to protect themselves. Training under this standard enables employees to make informed decisions about safety measures and ensures a safer working environment when handling hazardous substances.
