US: OSHA HazCom update and small-container labels
Applies: · Last checked: 4 November 2026
OSHA’s updated Hazard Communication Standard, aligned with GHS Revision 7, took effect on 19 July 2024, with compliance phased in over the following years. It writes the small-container rules into the standard: containers of 100 mL or less may carry an abbreviated label, and those of 3 mL or less only the product identifier when a full label would get in the way of use.
