The Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Hazard Communication Standard
(HCS) outlines employees' right to know about
potential health risks in the workplace. This includes information on protective equipment and clothing and the
proper procedures for the handling and storing of all chemicals and
chemical products used in the workplace. Through employee training and
education, Towson University hopes to reduce the number
of injuries or illnesses that can be attributed to the improper use
and handling of these products.

their rights and resources.
