Under the provisions of the Hazard Communication Standard issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), employers are responsible for informing employees of the hazards and the identities of workplace chemicals to which they are exposed.

- A Quick Reference section that provides ample space for your workplace chemicals to be listed and coded,
- An Emergency First Aid section, and
- An Emergency Contact Information section.
