Florida Right to Know Law

Hazardous Materials

The Florida Right to Know Law protects workers who handle chemicals. If you work with hazardous
materials, your employer is required to provide a four-part hazard program, which includes
employee training, a written program, Safety Data Sheets (formerly known as MSDS), and a
warning about your level of risk for exposures to hazardous substances.

If you have questions about safe work practices, talk to your immediate supervisor or your Safety
Officer.
Hazard Communication

The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) is
aligned with the United Nations’ Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labeling
of Chemicals to improve hazard communication and workplace safety.

This Includes:
• Product Label Requirements: new
pictograms, required six (6) sections
• Safety Data Sheets (SDS): required 16
sequence-specific sections
