Whose contact information must be listed on an HCS label?

• A. Manufacturer, distributor, or importer
• B. End user
• C. Government
• D. Insurance provider

Answer: (A)

Under OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard, a label must include the name, address, and telephone number of the chemical manufacturer, importer, or other responsible party. This ensures workers know who to contact with questions about hazards or to obtain the Safety Data Sheet and guidance on safe handling. The end user, government, or insurance provider aren’t the entities responsible for supplying hazard information on the label, so their contact details aren’t required.
