The Hazard Communication Standard — A Conversation with Lesa Rice-Jackson, CPPS, Ph.D.

This week I had the pleasure of visiting with Dr. Lesa Rice-Jackson, CPPS, Managing Principal Consultant, Rice Jackson Health Safety & Regulatory Compliance Consulting, to discuss Lesa’s expertise in occupational safety and health and product stewardship issues. Dr. Jackson has a distinguished career in private practice as an employee of a large industrial chemical company, and now is President of her own consultancy. Lesa is both a much sought after service provider to B&C and some of its clients and a member of the Board of Directors of the Product Stewardship Society, which I served on for several years before stepping down as President and Chair of the Board a few years ago. Lesa is a seasoned, practical, and extremely efficient professional to whom I could listen all day, given her insights on all things occupational safety and health related. We discuss the pending amendments to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard (HCS), key issues likely to complicate compliance, and how best to balance occupational safety and health compliance with emerging and more rigorous best practice standards.
