27
Hazard communication program v Must comply with Hazard Communication Standard - 29 CFR 1910.1200 3a
28
Hazard communication program Written program must include: v a list of hazardous chemicals present in the workplace v MSDS v labeling system information 3b
29
Hazard communication program Written program must include: v employee training information v information regarding nonroutine hazards v methods of informing employers of other workers (contractors) 3c
30
Hazard communication program v Written program does not have to be accessible to every work area and every work shift v Written program is available to workers upon request 3d
31
