Hazard Communication Training
HazCom and GHS training covering labels, safety data sheets and your written program, per the 29 CFR 1910.1200 right-to-know requirements.
What to Expect
Hazard communication is among the most frequently cited OSHA standards year after year, usually because the written program is missing, out of date, or nobody can find the safety data sheets. We train your workers on GHS labels, pictograms and safety data sheets, and review the written program and chemical inventory that the standard requires you to maintain alongside the training.
- Standard
- 29 CFR 1910.1200 — Hazard Communication
- Who needs it
- Every employee who may be exposed to a hazardous chemical in the workplace
- When
- At initial assignment, and again whenever a new chemical hazard is introduced into their work area
- Format
- Delivered onsite at your facility or job site, or by live virtual session with Q&A and documentation.
Training is only one of three obligations
The standard requires a written hazard communication program, a chemical inventory with labels and safety data sheets kept accessible, and employee training. Citations often follow a site that has trained its people but cannot produce the written program, or that has safety data sheets locked in an office nobody can reach on a night shift. We look at all three together, because training alone will not close the gap.
Reading a safety data sheet quickly
Safety data sheets follow a standard sixteen-section format, which means a worker who knows where to look can find first aid measures, handling requirements and exposure controls in seconds. Most of the training value is in practising that navigation on the sheets for the chemicals actually in your building, rather than a generic example.
