5. Why did OHSA decide to modify the Hazard Communication Standard to adopt GHS?  The original Hazard Communication standard was performance-oriented which allowed chemical manufacturers, importers, and distributors to provide information on labels and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) in whatever format they chose... gave workers the “right-to-know” –HazCom 2012 is “prescriptive” – meaning label and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) format is standardized... this update is designed to give workers the “right-to-understand”  To improve safety & health of workers through more effective communication of chemical hazards  The original Hazard Communication standard was performance-oriented which allowed chemical manufacturers, importers, and distributors to provide information on labels and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) in whatever format they chose... gave workers the “right-to-know” –HazCom 2012 is “prescriptive” – meaning label and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) format is standardized... this update is designed to give workers the “right-to-understand”  To improve safety & health of workers through more effective communication of chemical hazards
