OSHA's Safety and Health Topics webpage Hazard Communication (http://www.osha.gov/ dsg/hazcom/index.html) has information on OSHA's Hazard Communication standard. OSHA's guidance document, Chemical Hazard Communication (http://www.osha.gov/ Publications/osha3084.pdf), provides information on putting together a comprehensive chemical hazard communication program. OSHA has guidance on personal protective equipment (http://www.osha.gov/Publications/osha3151.html), including the types of gloves recommended for exposures to different chemicals. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH leads a national initiative called Prevention through Design (PtD) (http://www.cdc. gov/niosh/topics/PtD) that addresses workplace safety and health during the design and planning of workplaces, materials and equipment in order to prevent or minimize hazards and risks. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has standards for safer cleaning products under the EPA's Design for the Environment (DfE) Safer Product Labeling Program(http://www.epa.gov/dfe). A DfE label on a cleaner indicates that the cleaner meets the EPA's safety standards.
