Why Choose this Training Course?
The Hazard Communication Standard, or HCS, also sometimes known as HAZCOM – is an information and training standard for the use of hazardous chemicals in the workplace, designed to reduce the incidence of chemically related injuries and illnesses. The Hazard Communication Standard is now aligned with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals or GHS. This update to HCS will provide a common approach to classifying chemicals and communicating hazard information on labels and safety data sheets. OSHA's Chemical Hazard Communication Standard is based on a simple concept that employees have both a need and a right to know the hazards and identities of the chemicals they are exposed to while working. This HAZCOM Standard is known as OSHA's Worker Right to Know Standard and is designed to provide you with the information you need to work safely.
This PetroKnowledge training course covers basic OSHA requirements for proper communication methods about hazardous chemicals in any workplace, including the modification of OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard to conform with the United Nations' (UN) Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) requirements. This workshop has been designed to ensure effective communication happens. It is designed to support anyone providing information about, or attending, chemical incidents, and addresses the need to make a rapid, relevant and reliable response to requests for hazardous material information from the emergency services.
This training course will highlight:
- Hazardous materials management principles
- Physical and chemical properties of materials
- Toxicology and risk assessment
- Environmental fate of hazardous materials
- Legal and regulatory framework
- Worker health and safety
- Emergency management
- Transportation of hazardous materials
