From GAWDAwiki
A fundamental premise of OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) is that employees who may be exposed to hazardous chemicals in the workplace have a right to know about the hazards and how to protect themselves. For this reason, the HCS is sometimes referred to as the Worker Right-to-Know Legislation, or more often just as the Right-to-Know law. Although the original HCS applied only to the manufacturing industry, subsequent court challenges have modified the scope of the law so that today the HCS applies to nearly all sectors or the work force.[1]
