Answer 1

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Hazard Communication Standard requires Safety Data Sheets to provide and communicate information about potential hazards. They must be user friendly and easy to understand. It must include potential hazards, protections and preventions.

Answer 2

Answer is C: Hazard Communication

Hazard Communication Hazard (HCS 2012) provides a coherent and standardized approach to communicating the hazards of chemicals by way of Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and labels on containers. However, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) revised its HCS 2012. In it, they revised criteria for classification of chemical hazards, labeling provisions, hazard statements, and precautionary statements.  In addition, modifications were made to health standards substances to ensure requirements for labels and SDSs are consistent with the HCS 2012. According to OSHA’S standards, SDSs should periodically be reviewed and updated.
