OSHA Hazard Communication resources available to help employers comply with new training and labeling requirements. Two new compliance assistance resources are available for employers to assist them in meeting the requirements of OSHA's revised Hazard Communication Standard. A new fact sheet discusses the training topics that employers must cover for the initial December 1, 2013 deadline. In addition, a new OSHA brief explains the new labeling elements, identifies what goes on a label, and describes what pictograms are and how to use them. The brief also provides manufacturers, importers, distributors and other employers with a step-by-step guide to create a label that meets the requirements of the revised standard. The deadline for adopting the new labels and pictograms is June 1, 2015.

These new resources and other useful information are available on OSHA's Hazard Communications page. See http://www.osha.gov/dsg/hazcom/index.html.
