Hazard communication is the process of letting people know about the hazards of materials or processes they may be exposed to.

The US Occupational Safety & Health Administration has a standard under this topic that deals specifically with communicating the hazards of chemical materials used in the workplace. It does not address radioactive materials, food, beverages, cosmetics, tobacco, pharmaceuticals or pesticides.

A recently issued revision to this standard, intended to harmonize US requirements with requirements elsewhere, is called HAZCOM
