Fact: There are an estimated 650,000 hazardous chemical products and hundreds of new ones are being introduced annually. This poses a serious health and safety hazard for exposed employees.

 

This training program will discuss OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard in more in-depth and how employees can protect themselves from the dangers of hazardous chemicals in their work environment.

​

All employers must identify the hazardous chemicals they use and develop a hazard communication program (HAZCOM) to inform their employees about those chemicals. H

​

Protection under the Hazard Communication Standard includes all workers exposed to hazardous chemicals in all industrial sectors. This standard is based on a simple concept - that employees have both a need and a right to know the hazards and the identities of the chemicals they are exposed to when working. They also need to know what protective measures are available to prevent adverse effects from occurring.
