(2) The Standard itself: purpose; scope and application; definitions; hazard determination; written hazard communication program; labels and other forms of warning; material safety data sheets; employee information and training; trade secrets. In the appendix: health hazard definitions; criteria for hazard determinations; definition of trade secret. Identical changes are made to 29 CFR Parts 1915, 1917, 1918 and 1926. 29 CFR Part 1915 also has a paragraph added dealing with health and sanitation facilities. |
