Virtual – Annual Hazard-Communication Training “Hazwoper Basics”

In order to ensure chemical safety in the workplace, information about the identities and hazards of the chemicals must be available and understandable to workers. OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) requires the development and dissemination of such information:
 Chemical manufacturers and importers are required to evaluate the hazards of the chemicals they produce or import, and prepare labels and safety data sheets to convey the hazard information to their downstream customers;
 All employers with hazardous chemicals in their workplaces must have labels and safety data sheets for their exposed workers, and train them to handle the chemicals appropriately.
In this course, participants will receive an introduction to Hazardous Materials and become aware of issues that may arise in a manufacturing facility. Participants will learn about safety responsibility as it pertains to facilities, equipment and to personal protection. This course makes participants aware of OSHA, NJ-PEOSHA and NFPA regulations and standards.
