On June 1, 2016, the final deadline in the 4-year phase-in period for OSHA’s revisions to the hazard communication standard takes place. These revisions, initiated in 2012 to align with the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) for the Classification and Labelling of Chemicals, required employers to train employees and implement certain safety labels in a four-phase plan.
