Hazard Communication, commonly known as “HazCom,” refers to the procedures and processes used to effectively communicate to employees the hazards associated with workplace chemicals. Required by OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard, your organization’s Hazard Communication Program includes a written plan that outlines essential elements of the program, such as container labeling, Safety Data Sheets, a listing of all hazardous chemicals onsite and employee training. The purpose of Hazard Communication training is to explain and reinforce the information conveyed through container labels and Safety Data Sheets so employees can apply this information in their workplace. That’s the focus of this program—helping workers to become familiar with the written Hazard Communication Plan, the types of chemical hazards in the workplace and the specific types of information provided by container labels and Safety Data Sheets.
