Overview

Length: 9 pages
Many businesses transport or use hazardous chemicals which can potentially come into contact with employees. Chemical exposure can cause health problems and some chemicals are safety hazards with the potential to cause fires, explosions or other serious accidents. Employers have a legal responsibility to communicate to employees the chemical hazards present in their work areas and to provide training on mitigating risks associated with chemical hazards.
This course covers the OSHA requirements for evaluating chemical hazards and transmitting the hazard information down the line starting with chemical manufacturers / importers down to employees of companies that use the chemicals.
This course is relevant to engineers, managers, foreman and any other personnel working in industries that require the manufacture, transportation, storage and/or use of chemicals.
