OSHA updates HazCom directive

Two years after OSHA updated the Hazard Communication standard, the agency published its long-awaited revised CPL 02-02-079, “Inspection Procedures for the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS 2024).” While the document is geared towards OSHA inspectors and how they should issue citations under the updated standard, it provides insights for chemical manufacturers, importers, distributors, and employers as to what the agency will look for during an inspection. This makes it a valuable resource given recent and upcoming compliance dates at 29 CFR 1910.1200(j).

The revised CPL replaces the July 2015 version.
