What is the more commonly known name for the hazard communication standard (29 CFR 1910.1200)?

The hazard communication standard, which is specified in 29 CFR 1910.1200, is more commonly known as the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals. This standard was implemented to ensure that all hazardous materials are properly labeled and that safety data sheets (SDS) are used to communicate the hazards associated with various chemicals.

The GHS provides a consistent approach to classifying chemicals and communicating hazard information on labels and safety data sheets across different countries and organizations, which enhances safety and understanding in workplaces that handle hazardous materials. This system helps both employers and employees by ensuring that everyone understands the risks associated with using certain substances and how to handle them safely.

The other options represent different organizations and standards: OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) enforces safety regulations, the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) focuses on environmental protection, and ANSI (American National Standards Institute) develops standards across various industries. However, they are not the specific name for the hazard communication standard itself.
