HAZARD COMMUNICATION
Hazard Communication is mandated by federal and state laws that require employers to inform/communicate to employees about chemical hazards in the workplace. OSHA has created the Hazard Communications Standard 29 CFR Part 1910.1200 to ensure that the hazards of all chemicals produced or imported by chemical manufacturers or importers are evaluated, and that information concerning their hazard is transmitted to affected employers and employees. Your facility’s Hazard Communication (HAZCOM) program was created to protect your health and safety while using chemicals in the work environment.
Hazard Communication (HAZCOM) training will help you to understand the potential dangers of the chemicals in your workplace. It will teach you how to identify chemicals and how to read the warning labels. You will learn how to access and read your organization’s hazardous material manuals.
