HAZARDOUS MATERIALS TRAINING
OSHA standards require that businesses have a written program for Hazard Communication and requires employers to train employees annually on the hazards that are present in their workplace and whenever a new hazard is introduced or when a change occurs in the facility. Learn more about other required health and safety programs.Any company working with hazardous materials must adhere to OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (HazCom). This includes hazard identification, prevention and control.
The Hazard Communication Standard requires employers to identify hazardous chemicals used in the workplace. In 2012 OSHA revised the Standard to include components of the Globally Harmonized System (GHS). GHS is a guideline of requirements for the classification of health, physical and environmental hazards.
