According to the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, every employee has a right to know the kind of chemical hazards they are likely to face at the work site. Therefore, it is mandatory for all these employees to undergo training. All employers are required develop a written HazCom Plan and make it accessible to all the workers. The basic requirement of every Hazard Communication plan is:
1.An inventory of all the chemical hazards present at a workplace should be made by the employers before fabricating the HazCom plan. An employer has to know all the raw materials that are being used by the employees. The inventory can be added to or deleted as required.
2.A written plan has to be developed by the employer to instruct all the employees about HazCom. This should include all the chemicals in the workplace, their labeling, risks associated, location of MSDS, location and requirement of PPE and emergency procedures.
3.Every container housing the chemicals should have proper labels including warnings and the address of the manufacturer.
4.For every chemical in the work place, an MSDS should be drafted. This sheet should be available to workers at all times.
5.Finally, every employee should be trained before they start working on site. The safety training course can be done by in-house trainers or certified instructors. The training should cover all the aspects of the written plan of the company.
