CHEMICAL HAZARD COMMUNICATION SUMMARY

.

Employee Information and Training

The employee training plan must consist of the following elements:
  • How the hazard communication program is implemented in that workplace, how to read and interpret information on labels and the MSDS, and how employees can obtain and use the available hazard information
  • The hazards of the chemicals in the work area – hazards may be discussed by individual chemical or by hazard categories such as flammability
  • Measures employees can take to protect themselves from hazards
  • Specific procedures put into effect by the employer to provide protection such as engineering controls, work practices, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • Methods and observations – such as visual appearance or smell – workers can use to detect the presence of a hazardous chemical to which they may be exposed.
