 OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (HCS), often called HazCom, ensures that information about chemical hazards is communicated to workers. It aligns with the UN Globally Harmonized System (GHS) for classification and labeling 

 The plan provides the state with a framework to implement hazard mitigation strategies and is a prerequisite for receiving certain federal disaster relief and mitigation grants.
