The formats which chemical manufacturers, importers, and distributors are required to provide are C. Safety Data Sheet (SDSs) and Labels.
Further Explanation
OSHA stands for Occupational Safety and Health Administration. It is a governing body in the US under the Department of Labor that is responsible for ensuring the safety of the people at work and also ensuring that their work environment is healthful. Preventing work-related injuries, illness and deaths are the main mission of OSHA.
As per the OSHA, Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) was made to make sure that the hazard of all chemicals produced or imported have undergone evaluation and information regarding their hazards are relayed to employers and employee. The rationale in creating HCS is because employers and employees who are in direct contact with chemicals have the right to know the hazards and the identities of these chemicals so they can take the necessary precautions to protect themselves. This communication should be in the format of Labels and Safety Data Sheet.
Labels have six standardized elements that must be present: product identifier, manufacturer information, signal word, pictograms, hazard statement(s) and precautionary statement(s) that are affixed to, printed on, or attached to the primary container of a hazardous chemical, or to the secondary packaging. All chemical manufacturers, importers, and distributors are required by HCS to provide labels and SDSs to their downstream customers.
The Safety Data Sheet (SDSs) has 16-section and should be presented consistently in a user-friendly manner so that workers who handle hazardous chemicals can become familiar with the format and easily comprehend the contents of the SDSs.
