The Hazard Communication Standard (HCS), 29 CFR 1910.1200 (h), requires all employers to provide information and training to their employees about the hazardous chemicals to which they may be exposed at the time of their initial assignment and whenever a new hazard is introduced into their work area.
These are the Five elements of the Hazard Communication Standard. They are: Chemical Inventory, Written Program, Labels, Material Safety Data Sheets, and Training.
All employees must be provided with information and training on hazardous chemicals in their work area at the time of their initial assignment (prior to being exposed to a chemical), and whenever a new chemical hazard they have not previously been trained about is introduced into their work area.
HazCom Training is required for new physical or health hazards, not for every new chemical that enters the workplace. If, however, a newly introduced chemical does not fit into an existing category, training for that new chemical must be provided. A general discussion of hazardous chemicals, for example, is not enough.
Employers in all industries of all sizes must provide training when hazardous chemicals are present in the workplace. This includes health care, dental, labs, construction, manufacturing, cleaning services, etc. Only workers who have potential exposure to the hazardous chemicals need to be trained.
The only work operations which do not have to comply with the written plan requirements are laboratories and work operations where employees only handle chemicals in sealed containers. The written program must reflect what employees are doing in a particular workplace.
Employees that must be protected under the Hazard Communication Standard are those employees who may be exposed to hazardous chemicals under normal working conditions. Employees who encounter hazardous chemicals only in isolated instances are not covered.
The program must include labels on containers of hazardous chemicals, safety data sheets (SDSs) for hazardous chemicals, and training for workers. Each employer must also describe in a written program how it will meet the requirements of the HCS in each of these areas.
