NFPA & HMCIS Hazard Communication Supplies

NFPA & HMCIS HazCom Supplies Clearly communicating chemical hazard information keeps workers and facilities safe. All businesses that regularly handle, store, or use hazardous chemicals must comply with the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (HCS).. The standard is designed to protect end users in the workplace. The rule applies to chemicals from cleaning fluids to pesticides and paints, so nearly every business has some type of HazCom exposure.

Businesses typically use labeling systems such as the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 704 Hazard Rating and the Hazardous Materials Information System (HMCIS). These recognized and accepted systems use multi-color formats to identify chemical hazards in the workplace. NFPA diamond signs and labels are typically placed outside buildings on doors and tanks that are visible to emergency responders. HMCIS labels can be applied directly to each workplace container holding a hazardous chemical.
