HAZCOM (Hazard Communication) labeling requirements mandate that hazardous chemicals be properly labeled to inform workers about the chemical's identity, hazards, and safe handling practices. Labels must include the product name, appropriate hazard pictograms, signal words (such as "Danger" or "Warning"), hazard statements, precautionary statements, and the manufacturer's information. Additionally, labels must be legible and prominently displayed on containers, ensuring that employees can easily access and understand the safety information. These requirements are part of OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard, which aims to enhance workplace safety regarding hazardous substances.
