In today’s litigious society, we begin
to take cautions, warnings and disclaimers from manufacturers’
with a touch of skepticism or disregard. When it comes to hazardous
chemicals in the work place, words, colors and symbols mean
something. This program will teach your employees to recognize
and understand the different means of communication used to
identify hazardous chemicals. The training program will educate
your workers on the physical characteristics and chemical properties
communicated in the material safety data sheets and on the container
labels enabling them to make proper decisions concerning the
safe use, handling and storage of the substances. The program
covers the purpose and role of hazard communication, the different
classification of chemicals and their hazards, the primary forms
of communication, and best practices and procedures to ensure
their safety and health. Chemicals are an intricate and valuable
part of our life. When respected and handled properly, they
pose minimum risk to our safety and health. Knowledge is a valuable
safety tool. Not only is it your workers’ right to know,
it is their responsibility to use it to protect their safety
and that of their co-workers. (14 minutes) |
