Developing a Hazard Communication Program
From State Compensation Insurance Fund, Safety Newsletter, Winter 2015
A written hazard communication program must be implemented for any employer who uses, produces, or imports hazardous chemicals; it must be readily accessible to employees (or their representatives) and to Cal/OSHA. It’s required to include: container labeling and other forms of warning, material safety data sheets (MSDSs), and an employee-training program informing of hazards and educating on controls when using hazardous materials.
