According to OSHA rules, all products in a cosmetology establishment must be properly labeled. Which organization sets these labeling requirements?

• A. FDA
• B. OSHA
• C. EPA
• D. CDC

Answer: (B)

Labeling requirements for products used in a cosmetology setting come from OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard. This program makes sure that any hazardous chemical in the workplace is clearly labeled so workers can quickly recognize the hazards and take proper precautions. A compliant label typically includes the product name, hazard statements, precautionary statements, and the supplier’s information, and it aligns with the Globally Harmonized System for consistency. This is about workplace safety and informing employees, not consumer-facing product labeling. The FDA handles labeling for cosmetics sold to consumers, the EPA regulates pesticides and some chemical product labeling, and the CDC provides health guidance rather than enforce labeling standards.
