Implementing controls and safety plans
Understanding the materials we work with is a critical part of maintaining a safe environment. This hazard communication (Hazcom) training is your essential guide to identifying, understanding, and safely managing these materials. You'll learn about your "Right-to-Know", how to interpret labels and Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and the crucial steps to protect yourself and your workplace.

OSHA Regulation
CFR 1910.1200(h)(1)
Employers shall provide employees with effective information and training on hazardous chemicals in their work area at the time of their initial assignment, and whenever a new chemical hazard the employees have not previously been trained about is introduced into their work area. Information and training may be designed to cover categories of hazards (e.g., flammability, carcinogenicity) or specific chemicals. Chemical-specific information must always be available through labels and safety data sheets.
