In the United States, OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) establishes how companies must communicate chemical hazards to their workers and develop policies to minimize those risks. This presentation shares the ways the HCS applies to a body piercing facility and will be useful for health inspectors, piercers, studio managers, and studio owners.
