OSHA Hazard Communication support.
HazCom 2012 SDS, GHS classification, written programs, and gap analyses against the OSHA 2024 final rule update — for US employers and chemical suppliers.
OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard is the most-cited workplace standard in the United States. Compliance is not optional: every employer with hazardous chemicals on site needs current SDS, GHS-compliant labels, a written hazard communication program, and trained employees. Chemply provides full HazCom consulting for US chemical manufacturers, importers, distributors, and downstream user employers.

Frequently asked questions
What is OSHA Hazard Communication?
OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (HCS), 29 CFR 1910.1200 — commonly called HazCom — is the US workplace standard that requires employers and chemical manufacturers to identify, classify, label, and communicate the hazards of chemicals to workers. It implements the UN GHS in the United States.
What is HazCom?
HazCom is the everyday shorthand for OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard. It covers SDS, labels, written hazard communication programs, and worker training.
What is the difference between OSHA HazCom and EU CLP?
Both implement GHS, but with different scope. EU CLP applies to placing chemicals on the market and covers consumers and downstream users. OSHA HazCom is a workplace standard focused on protecting US employees. Classification defaults, label format, and exposure limit references all differ.
Does my small business need a written HazCom program?
If you have employees and any hazardous chemical is present in your workplace, yes. The written program must describe how you manage labels, SDS, and worker training. Chemply can help you draft a defensible written program tied to your SDS portfolio.
What does Chemply offer for HazCom?
We prepare OSHA-format SDS, classify products under HazCom 2012 (current GHS revision), draft written hazard communication programs, and provide gap analyses against the 2024 final rule update.
