Hazard Communication
Exposure to hazardous chemicals can present numerous dangers to workers. More than 30 million workers are exposed to one or more chemical hazards across various industrial sectors. Hundreds of new hazardous chemicals are being introduced annually, in addition to the approximately 389,000 chemical substances tracked by the Chemical Abstract Services database (2019). Knowing that chemical products may cause harm, the risk is increasing every year. OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard is designed to ensure that the information about these dangers is shared with those who need to know. This course covers OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard with an emphasis on what it is and how to comply. It also provides guidelines to help prevent chemical hazard incidents, and the adverse health effects that may result.
