Description
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has changed the Hazard Communication Standard with significant updates to material safety data sheets and chemical labeling. In addition, the Joint Commission is looking more closely at hospital compliance with U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) training for those signing manifests for hazmat shipment.
