Washington Safety Standards for WAC 296-901 — Global Harmonized System for Hazard Communication are a set of workplace safety regulations that are aimed at protecting workers and the environment from hazardous chemicals. The standards are based on the Global Harmonized System (GHS) and require employers to use labels and safety data sheets (SDS) as a means of providing information about the hazards of chemicals, how to safely work with them, and what protective measures should be taken. The standards are divided into four categories: 1. Labeling: Employers must provide labels with specific information about the product and any potential hazards. 2. Safety Data Sheets (SDS): Employers must provide safety data sheets for each hazardous chemical they use, which should include information on the hazards, first aid measures, and protective equipment to be used. 3. Training: Employers must provide employees with information and training on the hazards of chemicals and how to safely work with them. 4. Chemical Inventory: Employers must maintain a list of all hazardous chemicals used in the workplace. The Washington Safety Standards for WAC 296-901 — Global Harmonized System for Hazard Communication are designed to ensure that employers are aware of the hazards of the chemicals they are using and that workers are properly trained and equipped to handle them safely.
