1. TWO major changes in the Hazard Communication Standard 2012 (HCS or HazCom):
1 – New Label Elements 2 – Safety Data Sheets
The new label elements and SDS requirements are designed to improve worker understanding of the hazards associated with chemicals in their workplace.

2. DANGER
- Used for more severe hazards.
WARNING
- Used for less severe hazards.
There will only be ONE signal word on the label no matter how many hazards a chemical may have.
If one hazard warrants a “Danger” signal word and another warrants the signal word of “Warning”, then ONLY “Danger” should appear on the label.

3. SAFETY DATA SHEET (EXAMPLE)
SECTION 4:
First-Aid Measures
