Hazard Communication In Industrial Environments

The 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. Working with and handling hazardous materials does not need to be a daunting endeavor. Hazard Communication (HazCom) is 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. HAZCOM was developed by OSHA. Many accidents are preventable by following these simple, yet critical, safety standards and guidelines.

This course examines the HazCom standard and the safety practices workers should utilize. It demonstrates sources of HAZMAT information from safety data sheets, HAZMAT container labels, and a company’s written hazard communication program, exposure to HAZMATs, different classifications of hazards, and the utilization and safe storage of personal protective equipment (PPE).

Train your team members who are directly involved in working with and handling hazards, and at the management level so everyone understands their rights and responsibilities when it comes to hazardous materials safety.
