OSHA revised its Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) to align with the United Nations' Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) and published it in the Federal Register in March 2012 (77 FR 17574).

After a complaint brought OSHA inspectors to Durand-Wayland Inc.’s LaGrange, Georgia facility, their inspection resulted in the agency issuing 11 serious and 10 other safety violations.
