Hazardous Communications

Are you and your employees aware of the chemical hazards in your business?

The OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, often referred to as the "employee right to know" law, requires that all employers who have potentially harmful chemicals in the workplace, must train their employees on the safe use and handling of those materials.

The Hazardous Communications Program has been developed to inform and train employees concerning the use and dangers associated with hazardous chemicals. Our program will provide in depth training on the subjects in the course outline listed below. With the knowledge and understanding of hazardous materials, your employees will learn how to work safely and be less likely to experience an accident or exposure, thereby reducing your potential liability problems associated with the handling of hazardous materials. This course is a must for virtually all employers and meets or exceeds all applicable OSHA standards.
