CPR Certification First Aid Training Fire Safety Safety Consulting
The best way to protect yourself and your employees from hazardous chemicals is to know what chemicals that
your organization uses and/or stores, the hazards associated with them and their proper and safe use. Since 1980, a number of federal,
state and local laws have required every employer to provide this information to their employees through a written hazard communication
(HAZCOM) program (also known as Employee Right to Know). This program guarantees workers the right to review and copy their own exposure
records and monitor chemical use within the company. HAZCOM training also helps your employees familiarize themselves with the proper
response should a spill or release occur. This training complies with OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.1200 for Hazard Communication.
