Extends the scope of application of the Hazard Communication Standard (20 CFR Part 1910.1200, published in the Federal Register of 25 Nov. 1983, p. 53280 et seq.), issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, to non-manufacturing employers (e.g. in shipyard employment, longshoring, construction, agriculture). Henceforth both manufacturing and non-manufacturing employers are required to establish hazard communication programmes to transmit information on the hazards of chemicals to their employees by means of labels on containers, safety data sheets showing the composition of materials and training programmes.
