The Hazard Communication Standard requires employers to disclose toxic and hazardous substances in workplaces. This is related to the Worker Protection Standard. Specifically, this requires unrestricted employee access to the Material Safety Data Sheet or equivalent, and appropriate training needed to understand health and safety risks. ==History== Employees were often injured or killed before the 19th century and during the early decades of the 20th century. Workplace safety began with Dr. Alice Hamilton in Chicago, who began working for the state of Illinois in 1910 to deal with workplace safety.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Biography: Dr. Alice Hamilton )〕 The Occupational Safety and Health Administration was established in 1970 to standardize safety for all workers in the United States, and hazard communication for toxic substance exposure was included during the 1980s. The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) is currently being pursued to standardize workplace hazard protection internationally.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A Guide to The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hazard Communication Standard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
