Hazard Communication In Cleaning And Maintenance Environments

Those working in cleaning or facility maintenance roles likely work with a number of hazardous materials every day. In fact, those chemicals are probably critical to your job. Lack of preparedness and knowledge, especially when working with dangerous, corrosive, poisonous, and other types of hazardous chemicals can result in serious injury or death. The Hazard Communication (HazCom) Standard, developed by OSHA, is based on a set of processes and procedures employers must implement in the workplace to effectively and appropriately communicate hazards associated with chemicals during handling, transportation, and any form of exposure. This course explains hazard communication and the safe work practices for those working in facility maintenance.

Most accidents are preventable by following simple yet critical safety standards and guidelines. This course demonstrates exposures to HAZMATs, different categories of hazardous materials, the safe handling and storage of HazMats, personal protective equipment (PPE), and how to appropriately respond to a HAZMAT spill.

Train all facility maintenance employees to safely work with and around hazardous materials with this hazard communication course.
