Right to
Know
The HCS requires employers to establish hazard communication
programs to transmit information on the hazards of chemicals to
their employees by means of labels on containers, material
safety data sheets, and training programs. Implementation of
these hazard communication programs will ensure all employees
have the "right-to-know" the hazards and identities of the
chemicals they work with, and will reduce the incidence of
chemically - related occupational illnesses and injuries.
