HazCom Safety Training

Work Safely with Hazardous Materials and Maintain Compliance

Hazard Communication Programs Save Lives

Hazard communication (HazCom) is a critical element of safety. It’s a topic for which OSHA requires extensive training to keep workers safe.

 

To understand why HazCom requires such comprehensive training, we must first understand what it is.

 

HazCom refers to the process of sharing information about potential hazards in the workplace with employees. This allows employees to make informed decisions about how best to protect themselves from these hazards.

 

While the goal of HazCom is simple, getting there isn’t. That’s why OSHA requires employers to provide comprehensive HazCom training on HazCom topics to all employees who might be exposed to hazardous materials—especially chemicals—in the workplace.

 

Chemicals in the workplace are common but can create hazards and endanger the lives of employees.

OSHA Rules and Regulations

OSHA created HazCom standards to protect employees. It makes companies producing and/or using hazardous materials (namely chemicals) provide employees with information and training related to them. This is often referred to as OSHA’s “right-to-know” rule.


Written Hazard Communication Program

A written HazCom program must be developed if the company uses or produces hazardous chemicals. The plan must include steps to ensure all workers are familiar with the risks for handling chemicals. Employees must understand the chemical labeling and symbols related to each type of chemical hazard.

The written program must include labeling, materials inventory, safety data sheets, and training. It should be implemented, maintained, and readily available to employees. Reviews and revisions may be needed on a regular basis to cover any changes like new chemicals or personal protective equipment (PPE).


Safety Data Sheets

Safety data sheets (SDS) are detailed descriptions of hazardous materials inventoried. SDS provides vital information about a product’s physical characteristics and its hazardous properties.

Most SDS have 16 sections (12 of which are mandatory). OSHA says that an SDS should include the properties of each chemical as well as physical and health hazards. Other sections include environmental hazards, protective measures, and safety needs for handling, storing, and transporting the chemicals.

SDS must be available for all hazardous materials present in a work area. The information provided in the SDS should be helpful and easily accessible to anyone who needs it quickly.


Chemical Labels and Warning Signs

Containers of hazardous chemicals must have labels that show the material and warn of its potential hazard. Companies that make, use, and transport hazardous chemicals must ensure that containers of hazardous chemicals are labeled properly. The containers must be labeled with the chemical name and proper warnings. The name and address of the hazardous chemical maker, importer, or other responsible parties must also be on the label.

If the chemical is moved to another container, the employer must properly label the new container.


Training Programs

All employees who may be exposed to hazardous chemicals in the workplace must be trained to identify and work safely with them. The training must happen before their first assignment and whenever hazards change. Training cover SDS, explaining the hazards of chemicals, and safety measures. Training must include proper PPE, how to handle a chemical exposure, and cleanup of a chemical spill. Always train what chemicals each employee may encounter during normal duties.

Employees must have information about where to find SDS in the workplace, who manages the HazCom program, and where to get copies.


Proper Personal Protective Equipment

Workers must wear PPE for many hazardous chemical operations. Respiratory protection, eye protection, and body protection may be needed. Other PPE items may include foot/leg protection and hand/arm protection.

Safety Services Company HazCom includes information about how to use personal protective equipment for specific jobs.
