The purpose of this section is to ensure that the hazards of all chemicals produced or imported
are classified, and that information concerning the classified hazards is transmitted to employers
and employees. The requirements of this section are intended to be consistent with the provisions
of the United Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals
(GHS), Revision 3. The transmittal of information is to be accomplished by means of comprehensive
hazard communication programs, which are to include container labeling and other forms of warning,
safety data sheets and employee training.
(h)(1):
Employers shall provide employees with effective information and training on hazardous
chemicals in their work area at the time of their initial assignment, and whenever a new
chemical hazard the employees have not previously been trained about is introduced into
their work area. Information and training may be designed to cover categories of hazards
(e.g., flammability, carcinogenicity) or specific chemicals. Chemical-specific information
must always be available through labels and safety data sheets.
(h)(3):
"Training." Employee training shall include at least:
(h)(3)(i):
Methods and observations that may be used to detect the presence or release
of a hazardous chemical in the work area (such as monitoring conducted by
the employer, continuous monitoring devices, visual appearance or odor of
hazardous chemicals when being released, etc.);
(h)(3)(ii):
The physical, health, simple asphyxiation, combustible dust, and pyrophoric
gas hazards, as well as hazards not otherwise classified, of the chemicals in
the work area;
(h)(3)(iii):
The measures employees can take to protect themselves from these hazards,
including specific procedures the employer has implemented to protect
employees from exposure to hazardous chemicals, such as appropriate work
practices, emergency procedures, and personal protective equipment to be
used; and,
(h)(3)(iV):
The details of the hazard communication program developed by the employer,
including an explanation of the labels received on shipped containers and the
workplace labeling system used by their employer; the safety data sheet, including
the order of information and how employees can obtain and use the appropriate
hazard information.
