The Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) is a key OSHA provision for manufacturers, importers, and users of hazardous chemicals. Every year, it ranks among the top 10 requirements cited in OSHA enforcement actions. The HCS was updated in 2024, and compliance with those updates becomes mandatory in January 2026 and July 2027. During this webinar, the speakers will review the updates alongside the standard’s core provisions.

OSHA’s Heat Standard and Related State Plans
July 15, 2026 from 12:00 – 1:00 pm ET

In this webinar, the speaker will discuss OSHA’s current approach to heat stress, key provisions under the proposed rule, and state-level requirements and proposals. Jessalee will also provide practical guidance on what employers can do now to strengthen heat‑illness prevention efforts, reduce risk, and prepare for potential new obligations.
