Course Title: HAZARD COMMUNICATION (HAZCOM)

Location: On-site (at customer’s location)

Course Description:
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has established the Hazard Communication Standard 29 CFR 1910.1200. Otherwise know as the "Right to Know" law. This Standard is based on the concept that employees in all industrial sectors have a right to know the hazards and identities of chemicals that they are exposed to in the workplace, and to protect workers who are exposed to hazardous chemicals by informing them about storing, labeling, using, removing hazardous substances, and donning personal protective equipment.

Training is vital to understanding the information provided on chemical container labels and material safety data sheets, and applying that information in the workplace to protect against chemical hazards. This course is designed to assist both employers and employees in learning about workplace hazards and how to protect themselves from hazardous exposure. Customers receive class rosters and course evaluations.

Course Objectives:

• Communicate vital information to employees about real and potential hazards of work place substances.


• Reduce the risks involved in working with hazardous materials.


• Reduce occurrences and cost of illness or injury resulting from hazardous substances.
