This Hazard Communication training video will help educate your workers on the hazards in their work areas, AND keep your compliant with the OSHA Standard. This “Right to Know” or HAZCOM training will teach your workers all about chemical hazards, Safety Data Sheets, as well as the importance of each facility’s written Hazard Communication program.

• The importance of understanding how to properly store and use chemicals in the workplace

• What are the basics that are included in any Hazard Communication Program? (the types of potentially hazardous materials in the workplace, where they are located, how they are labeled, where the Safety Data Sheets are kept, how employees will receive their training, and anything else relevant to chemical safety at your specific facility)
