OSHA is requesting a program change resulting from publication of the Hazard Communication - Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). Revisions include: (1) revised criteria for classification of chemical hazards; (2) revised labeling provisions that include requirements for use of standardized signal words, pictograms, hazard statements, and precautionary statements; and (3) a specified format for safety data sheets. OSHA also is requesting an adjustment decrease, resulting from using data from the Final Economic Analysis to update previous economic assumptions. There is an increase in the cost to the employer of $50,743,461, (from $1,750,001 to $50,743,461), a difference of $48,993,001. The program change increase in cost is for purchasing new software for the safety data sheets and the cost of printing labels in color.
