OSHA Hazard Communication

In 1984, OSHA published the hazard communication standard which requires employers provide information and training to employees whose job duties involve the use of chemicals. This is information and training to employees whose job duties involve the use of chemicals. This is one of the most frequently violated of OSHA standards. Most employers in the nation have employees who use chemical products at work and therefore must comply with provisions of the law. This free class provides detailed information about the standard specifically addressing the employer’s duty to have a written hazard communication program, material safety data sheets, container labeling, and employee training to eliminate or otherwise control any hazard to employee health or safety when using chemicals in the workplace.
