- The difference between workplace and supplier labels
- How to label stationary process equipment
- How to avoid the most common mistakes made on product labels and SDSs
- What must be in your site’s written hazard communication program and when it must be updated

- Ways to protect yourself and your coworkers from chemical hazards
- How to handle problems, such as missing or inaccurate SDSs, imported products, old labels, and chemicals brought on-site by contractors
- How to implement an effective hazard communication program at your site
The course handbook, How to Comply with the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, is provided as a downloadable document. The handbook clearly describes procedures for developing a hazard communication plan. Instructions for using SDSs, labeling containers, keeping records, and training employees are included. Compliance checklists will help you ensure that nothing is missed in your OSHA-required hazard communication program.
