OSHA Hazard Communication (HazCom GHS) Training
The OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) requires all organizations whose workers are exposed to hazardous chemicals to implement safeguards and methods to ensure that workers are informed about the dangers of hazardous chemicals in the workplace that they may be exposed to.
Audience:Any individuals who may be “exposed” to hazardous chemicals when working must be provided information and be trained prior to initial assignment to work with a hazardous chemical and whenever the hazard changes.
Examples:Physicians, Nurses, Hospitals, Laboratories, Pharmacies, Cleaning/Janitorial, Automotive, Pest Control/Lawn Care, Plumbers, Manufacturing/Industrial, HVAC, Oil and Gas, Emergency Responders, etc.
OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard, also known as
HazCom, is a federal regulation (29 CFR 1910.1200) that
specifies that when hazardous chemicals are present in
the workplace, employees have a right to know about the
risks involved with storing and handling such substances.
The Hazard Communication Standard is now aligned
with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification
and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) which is a worldwide
standard.
Hazard Communication compliance for an organization
revolves around putting in place compliance programs
and training to ensure that workers are informed and
all pertinent information is clearly and effectively
communicated about hazardous chemicals that they may
be exposed to in the workplace.
As part of satisfying the Hazard Communication
compliance requirements established by OSHA,
employers are required to provide a Hazard
Communication (HazCom GHS) awareness training to
workers when a worker is first placed into a job that
entails potential exposure to hazardous chemicals, when
new hazardous chemicals are introduced, etc.

self-paced training to satisfy the training requirement
